- The one time I traveled to Seattle, I stayed at a hotel in Renton. I
- heard KING being being beaten about the head and shoulders by XPRS-1090,
- from south of the border.
-
- A couple of years later, I ran into someone at an NAB convention who was
- formerly in management at KING. He knew of the interference and said that
- KING ownership once tried to locate the owners of XPRS in order to negotiate
- a deal, which they believed would be great for both parties, to modify XPRS
- to better cover southern cal and reduce interference toward KING. In spite
- of rather diligent efforts, they were evidently never able to locate anyone
- in ownership of XPRS and so never made the offer.
-
- What surprised me about the interference was how strong it was. The hotel
- radio was not very good and only a few stations came in. KING was one of
- the stronger signals but was the only one with audible background
- interference.
-
- My W.A.G. is that the ratio of the two was 10dB - more than enough for XPRS
- to be clearly heard under KING.
