[SBE16-Seattle] [EAS-WA] [SECC-WA] SRN RELAY

[Gabriel Parmley]

I've been working with Larry at WSP to troubleshoot our problem with receiving the SRN from Burch Mountain. Since two others have been able to decode from the SRN recently, I am bypassing our current radio scanner again and monitoring with alternate equipment tomorrow for further verification.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it to the meeting tomorrow morning, but I will provide an update after further testing.

Thanks for the report, Gabe -

It appears that the State Relay Network is in need of serious attention.

This will be on the agenda at the SECC Meeting -
Jan 14th at 930 - Hope you can join us in person or by phone.
Your report, heard by others, will be helpful

KWCC (Apple Valley TV) has not received the SRN from Burch Mountain recently.

However, we monitor our Local Primary KPQ AM and KPQ FM as well as National Weather Service and have received the regular RWT and RMT. They all use the same antenna, but when the Burch Mountain SRN relay was repaired this Summer, we noticed significantly low quality audio on two separate scanners for the SRN only. Previous to the Burch Mountain SRN issue and repair, we were receiving SRN messages. However, the NPT was received by KPQ August 7th, 2019 and we received their forwarded message.

I'm not sure if anything can be done to improve the quality of the Burch Mountain SRN, but we have no issues receiving KPQ or NWS on FM with the same antenna (NWS broadcast from Burch Mountain as well).
