| Classic view
of Cape Blanco Lighthouse on western most point of Oregon. I waited,
a while, to take tour.
Signals, from CBU Radio, 690 AM, in Vancouver, BC, were still reaching my radio; this far south in daylight mind you. I bring along a large AM antenna booster that can bring in daytime signals from about 400 miles. At night it could gather from thousands of miles, if not for closer stations on the same frequencies. |
 Reception at Cape Blanco is better than farther north, on coast, as there is a clear shot, much of the way, across water. Inside lighthouse was lots of ammeter radio gear. It was the set up of some club. We shared experiences. They told me that there is a place, way out in the Pacific, where KEX from Portland is the strongest signal. It has to do with where the signal is directed and how it bounces around. More info on Lighthouse. |
