Well, it's been over a year since I last did one of these. I now have a new box to work this with, so let's have some fun.
N.B.-- this bandscan is dedicated in memory to my Marantz Superscope QR-450, 1975-2010 October 25. O great quad receiver, we hardly knew thee. R I P

Near future: I pack the F1HD wih me to Pendleton and scan OR and WA east of the Cascades! That'll truly be fun. (That area's mainly flat terrain and rolling hills, so the VHF propagation is tremendous over there.)
Release date: T.B.A.

.7 259
.9 260 KRKT-FM "Cricket Country" (Albany, OR) Far more audible than it is on

102.1 271
.3 272
.5 273 Normally K273AJ (KAWZ) Calvary Chapel (Elwood, OR) would be found on
this frequency but is conspicuously absent tonight. (Nothing's even
remotely audible is coming through, in case anybody was wondering.)
.7 274 K274AR (KZRI) Air One translator (Gresham, OR)

104.1 281 KFIS-FM "The Fish" (Scappoose, OR) Cheap Channel's attempt at
capturing the Christian Contemporary market. (Not to be outdone by
the likes of Air One, Calvary Chapel and K-Love, of course........)
.3 282 KMNT-FM (Chehalis, WA) Country station. *BARELY AUDIBLE*
.5 283
.7 284 KDUK-FM "K-Duck" (Florence, OR) Florence is at the central OR coast,
perhaps most famous for the "Exploding Whale" news broadcast of KATU
back in 1970. (Nice place, but personally, I like Manzanita better.
;o) This is also my first hit from the OR coast since hearing KAST-FM
(R.I.P.) in the late 1990s, at my Folks' previous house about a mile
away from here. Scratchy but tolerable, with stereo signal.

so severely pitched up, everybody sounds like they have been huffing
helium.

.3 292 KLOO-FM (Corvallis, OR) Somewhat more audible than before but very
scratchy.
.5 293
.7 294 KLTH-FM (DA 2s) (Portland) Weak revival of the early-1990s "Oldies
106.7", but with far more automation.
.9 295
107.1 296 K296FT (Westhaven, OR) Translator for KQAC-FM
.3 297
.5 298 KXJM-FM (DA 2s) "Wild 107.5" (Portland) Outgrowth of the previous
"Jammin'" hip hop station, but a little bit more dance-centric, yet
still just as irritating.
.7 299
.9 300 KHPE-FM "Hope FM" (Corvallis, OR)
