Crazy AM radio dx's from Washington State Coast (watch with annotations)

WATCH WITH ANNOTATIONS!

I made this video when I stayed at Kalaloch Lodge on washington's coast. I had brought my GE superadio with me in case I wanted to listen to some Vancouver radio stations (it comes in handy to pick up the local news). Anyway, I picked up all sorts of differant stations from all over the Pacific Coast and even beyond. One issue I had hit was the fact that I have no idea of what some of these stations where, so if I made a mistake in the annotations, please correct me by leaving a comment and I will fix it to be accurate. I have most of the information put in correctly, but there were so many stations I probably made a mistake somewhare along th line.

Radio signals do very strange things on the coast, please try this for yourself sometime! You WILL be suprised!

@oceolot7 I love that station! lol. i couldent tell at the time

[werewolvesNcupcakes]

at o:33, the one you didn't know what was coming through but it was a man talking and was rather clear, that's an old radio show. In all actuality there was at least 4 other ones that would go in and out while you were going through the stations.

@werewolvesNcupcakes Yeaaaaaah. fact of the matter is i hounestly didnt take the time to actually do the radio stations i couldent get right off the bat. The ones that are labled are obvious.... but i just gave up after a while on the stations listed by the 10's on wikipedia of what they might be. not as easy as it looks to locate where everyone is coming from

The loud station you heard at the top of the dial (playing "You Send Me") was likely KKOV, licensed to Vancouver, WA. They broadcast on 1550kHz with a nighttime power of 12kW; the night pattern sends most of the signal NW toward the Seattle area.

@klafong1 Thank you for the advice! its so hard to tell

That's excellent. I listen to KNBR in my car quite often (I live in Seattle), that 680 comes in beautifully. I will have to keep LA's 640 in mind next time, sounds like it comes in strong.
