KONG TV is a new station in Seattle ( run by King 5 ).

It broadcasts on UHF 16 - Seattle and Everett.

Any chance of picking a 130 mile UHF signal up - thanks.

Sure. Do you have a clear line-of-sight? You will need to have the
antenna high enough up on a mountain or a tower for a clear
line-of-sight. Try pointing a UHF antenna towards Seattle. If you can
get any kind of picture, even if it's mostly snow, I would say your
chances are excellent for receiving the station with a large antenna and
an amplifier. I can receive a UHF station from 150 miles away, and it's
a much higher frequency (ch 50).

Good Luck,

Tom Elliott

Yes, you should be able to.. KONG has a very strong signal. Just
get a big rooftop antenna UHF and point it at Seattle...

From Everett, I can barely get your VTV (channel 32) UHF, but I cannot
get SRC (channel 26).... Is channel 26 strong or weak signal??

SRC stations outside Quebec usually broadcast at a lower power than SRC
stations in Quebec. In the case of CBUFT ch.26, this station
broadacasts at 105.5kw, which is a medium-powered station (5000kw is
the US maximum for UHF).

I live in Aldergrove, B.C. approx 110 miles from Seattle
Get good picture with ChannelMaster roof top antenna.
KTZZ - 22 comes in very well as well.
