Fellas, what a different a few hundred miles make!  Yes the weather here last night and into this morning was pretty awful....storm force winds and heavy (I forgot how heavy they can be on the exposed west coast) rains.  Despite this, this morning's conditions were superb to Australia.  I've noticed a few things while here in Tofino.  First, conditions don't pick up until after 13:00, peaking around 14:00 to 14:30.  There's little point in waking up too early.  I set my alarm for 12:40,but even this is probably too early.  There was little or no CC or RR activity except for the LW band.  153, 171, 180, 189 and 279 were all in with audio, with 279 rating a 9, and 153 and 189 8s.  The others were 7s.  531 was strong with 2 English speakers at 14:12.  I playing C&W music dominated, while there was another Aussie with talk in the background.  Other audios:
 
558
567 
576 (2RN Sydney)
585  pres 7RN Hobart // to Sydney
594  NHK1 earlier, then DU strong at 14:21  ?3MV
612  4QD....really didn't put out that well today
621  3RN
639  had a DU plus another music station
684  EE at 14:35 coch Asian
693  NHK at 14:36
702  2BL Sydney at 14:37 with a 9 signal
738  2NR
774  Aussie very strong playing "See ya later alligator" at 13:45.  NHK2 would occasionally pop up and then rapidly fade away.
792  4RN very strong also at 13:45
828 NHK2 initially, then DU at 14:47
891  English at 14:49  ?4TAB
