Hi, John.  A fabulous morning here in Victoria as well.  I heard some of the stations below.  Comments added:

5 level, but via a very brief check at 14:27.  I have this band spectrum on the SDR IQ for 90 minutes, so will have to check it (big question, though, is when!!!!?)

My note states:  "Several including NHK1".  This would have been shortly after 13:30.

An impossible frequency due to Village 900.  891, by the way had decent audio at 14:00, presumably HLKB.  This is rare, for the same adjacent splatter reason.

Only a 4.

A 6 with no description.

Heard at 7 level with HBC programming.

Yessir!!!!

I'll have to spend a few minutes looking at the Alaskans too (Hawaiians as well....recall I heard a number of Alaskans and Hawaiians in Tofino over the weekend....As Colin said, look and you might just hear them!).

Darn right.  I can null SF pretty well, but Edmonton comes right up then.  The conditions have to be perfect, I presume.  I suspect that you'd get Edmonton very strongly as well, John.  This was also the case in Masset.
