Very fun March FM session this morning - stations from Seattle, Portland and Bend booming in over here in Yakima.

Adding the log from Monday.

93.7 - KANY Ocean Shores, WA (actually on Capitol Peak in Olympia); ID "Bigfoot 93.7 KANY" in K229AD null while in Wapato, WA. Also heard with Twin Harbors weather forecast around 1500 PT 3/31. NEW #186, 131 miles @ 33kw. I'm satisfied as this is my first WA Coast station heard here. I also have KXXK and KSWW (somewhat with KPQ a nuisance) to try for as well. Thought it was KDRK at first with the Spokane tropo scatter in and out.
Also heard KISC 98.1, KXLY 99.9, KEYF 101.1 + KXL, UNID 96.5 Rocker again mixing with KWLZ and KJAQ, unid 96.5 Ms burst of Regional Mexican mx (maybe Bakersfield, I was pointing N-S), 94.1 KMPS, 97.3 KIRO, 106.1 KBKS + KZFN, 106.9 KMOK Lewiston up to fair levels. My radio is impressive out here!
