KLOO-FM Reception

[DexterEricson]

I am out of town, but curious about receptions of KLOO-FM in the Salem area? Looking at the FCC maps, it looks like it should come in no problem, especially at 100,000 watts. Am I wrong?

Under normal circumstance, KLOO should cover Salem. If you are out in the open and not behind a small hill or shadowed by a building, and your radio receiver has even a modest antenna, the signal should be nice and strong.

Thanks Andy! Cars should be good, then?

Yes, a car radio should be OK. You are well within the 1mV/m contour in Salem.

From Seaside, when I point the FM6 yagi to the South 106.3 is generally always there. 101.5 is not as strong. But KLOO FM does get out.

When I was in Sunriver a couple of months ago, KLOO was the only FM station from the Valley that I could receive, and that was on a portable radio.
I can receive KLOO fairly well driving around Beaverton, well enough that I keep them in one of my memory buttons.

KLOO came in very nicely in a car radio a few miles north of Longview over the weekend.

Thanks all!

One more question on this, kind of the same, but put another way.

If someone owned KLOO-FM, and wanted to target the Salem market as the “home market,” does it have the signal to do it?

[semoochie]

Part of the problem is that Salem is part of the Portland market.

[DexterEricson]

Yes, I am aware of the market location. 🙂

I am more interested in the Salem signal for KLOO-FM. Sounds like the signal is good enough for it – or a similar signaled station – to make Salem part of it’s sales market.
