[SBE16-Seattle] 92.9 Olympia area

[John Price]

I  found this email from Bill. It was from August of 2018. The beat goes on.

“Licensed to “Grays Harbor LPFM”, the LP is located in an otherwise empty building in Hoquiam (the former location of KGHO-FM).  Audio to KGHO-LP and to the translators is fed from a computer via an internet feed from a home in Olympia.  KGHO-LP purports to be an educational institution with a Board of Directors.  Neither is true.  The translators are licensed to Northwest Rock N Roll Preservation Society.  Again, no such society and no Board of Directors.

John Spencer and Brian “Spencer” had originally bought a commercial AM/FM pair in Hoquiam, with the call letters KGHO.  They lived in the studio building, operated as hobby stations, and for a while actually sold advertising.  When they fell on hard times, they sold the stations to Morris Communications.  They also purchased an off-air station in Olympia (920 AM) and operated it as a hobby station. I sold them a Harris transmitter.  For a while they ran it out of a second story of a retail building in Olympia, until they moved it to their residence.  For some time, Brian’s mother in Oregon was listed as a participant.  In fact, Brian continued to have his mother sign FCC documents for several months after she passed away.”

I hear the Olympia 101.1 translator fighting against the KXL-FM (Portland) starting about mile post 60 on I-5.

Funny you mention this today. Up on the northside today, the co-owned 101.1 Olympia translator was overtaking CFMI (Vancouver BC) in Edmonds, and overtaking K266CJ (Everett) in parts of Mukilteo.

We thought it was the Auction 109 KWDB from Oak Harbor, until the ID was heard.

I remember several months back when I was in Olympia that the 101.1 signal had difficulties just a few miles outside of Olympia. I was surprised to hear it over such a wide area over stronger signals. Particularly within the 60 dBu of K266CJ.

Note: My observations were only with a car radio.
