Hey guys, I had the opportunity to do a bandscan yesterday afternoon from Peacock Hill in Gig Harbour, WA, that I have had decent luck with in the past. Unfortunately, I did not have a high quality radio such as a Grundig, therefore my car radio had to be used.
Without further adieu, here is what I picked up at 2pm
88.1 KWAO
88.3
88.5 KPLU
88.7
88.9
89.1 Calvery Chapel Radio (I believe Crainbebo specified this signal comes from Gold Mountain)
89.3 KGHP (faint, Fox Island translator)
89.5 KNHC
89.7
89.9 KGHP (main transmission site on Key Peninsula)
90.1
90.3 (faint KEXP?)
90.5
90.7 Tried for KSER, but KVTI was way too strong
90.9 KVTI
91.1
91.3 KBCS
91.5
91.7 KXOT
91.9
92.1 CBU - Victoria (received, but extremely faint, disappointing)
92.3 No KGON, squashed by KQMV
92.5 KQMV
92.7
92.9 KISM (would be very clear if not for KGHO translator on same frequency)
93.1
93.3 KUBE
93.5
93.7 KGHP (no KANY what so ever. I wanted to try for CJJR, but KGHP was too close)
93.9
94.1 KMPS
94.3
94.5 KXRY (no sign of KMIH translator, if they still have one on this freqency)
94.7
94.9 KUOW
95.1 Here is where it gets interesting, KITI (all of the way from Winlock at 400 watts)
95.3 KXXK, with faint CKZZ in the background
95.5
95.7 KJR-FM
95.9
96.1 KXXO
96.5 KJAQ
96.7
96.9 KGY
97.1
97.3 KIRO
97.5
97.7 KOMO
97.9
98.1 KING
98.3
98.5 CIOC (Very Clear)
98.7
98.9 KLCK
99.1
99.3 KDDS
99.5 Tried for KWJJ, but KDDS was making it too difficult
99.7
99.9 KISW
100.1
100.3 CKKQ (Clear)
100.5
100.7 KKWF
100.9
101.1 KXL (with a faint CFMI bursting in)
101.3
101.5 KPLZ
101.7
101.9 KINK (Extremely clear)
102.1 KPQ/KSWW (both faint)
102.3
102.5 KZOK
102.7 (Tried for CKPK, but KYNW made sure that didnt happen)
102.9 KNBQ
103.1 CHTT (Very faint)
103.3 K277AE (KHTP) Translator (faint)
103.5 CHQM (extremely faint)
103.7 KHTP
103.9
104.1 KMAS translator. No sign of KAFE, which dominates this frequency if I shake KMAS
104.3 KMNT (clear)
104.5 KMCQ
104.7 KDUX (Faint)
104.9 KKBW
105.1
105.3 KCMS
105.5
105.7 No CBU-FM, it was some sort of christian station. can anyone clarify?
105.9
106.1 KBKS
106.3
106.5 KWPZ
106.7
106.9 KRWM
107.1 KRQT (audible)
107.3 CHBE
107.5
107.7 KNDD
Anyways, that's what I was able to pick up. Where are some good places in the Puget Sound area to do bandscans (specifically to pick up the Mount Seymour signals)? Peacock hill was decent considering there not being any tropo, but i'd like to do better.
