Well, KJET's in Raymond. KSWW 102.1 on the other hand, is so staticky in Raymond that a translator is needed on 101.1. I heard it a few miles up 105, before KXL wiped them out.

KJET does well because the transmitter is at 1,200 AMSL at Holy Cross Hill near Raymond. KLSY does okay at Long Beach also, with 790 watts, same site. KSWW, on the other hand, is at much lower elevation near Montesano and has hills in the way towards Raymond.
Height is a good thing.

Bill, I don't think I have had a good enough radio to know very well, how's KJET to the east? Sounds good on the car out toward Elk Prairy Road on 6, but how about east of there? Seems as if lower quality radios are not good on that station, I believe the farthest I've carried it is the other side of Pluvious.

Good press is a good thing, too. Nice article in the paper last month. http://thedailyworld.com/sections/living/profiles/%E2%80%9Cboss-bill%E2%80%9D-radio-more-voice.html |

KJET is directional, but I don't remember who we protect. Could be toward Longview.
Steven was nice to me in his article, but he got my age wrong. I don't turn 67 until this week!

Could be protecting 1st adjacents KUKN on 105.5 in Longview, and KFBW on 105.9 in Portland. |

Thanks! Yes Lisa is our daughter. I'm now the Communications Manager for the Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County but do a little freelance for KING, NWCN and Pierce County TV. -RV |
