03/14/12----00:05 PDT--Victoria BC;
Reception seems to be returning back to normal with the exception of 540 and 1010 where both CBC stations are still not sounding normal as fading is still occuring after a few minutes of minimum signal. Most of the Oregonians are back in as usual. KBOI 670 has returned with good signal but hasn't stabalised and is still fading into obscurity. In with a good steady signal is normally buried KNEW 960 Oakland Ca.with an under signal I guess would be Calgary AB. Upper band noise from digital or lighting seems to be low tonight so I have a chance to catch a few things above 1200 and some interesting activity is happening on 1260 where two little guys are winning out over a big guy: C&W station KPOW in Powel Wyo on 1Kw night watts and oldies KLYC McMinnville Or.on .85Kw are throwing 50 K CFRN Edmonton a curve and basically telling it to go back to Alberta where it belongs. No official IDs on those two but the music fits the signal sources. Under
 normal conditions CFRN owns the slot. 
It's 0100 and it's time to sign off with one more item of interest : 900 AM in Victoria BC is still pumping out 10Kw and probably will be for a while just in case somebody bites the hook on Rogers' fish line before a scheduled dismantling of the towers happens and while they're waiting they figure they'll avoid having to restart it which might be more difficult in the long run than to leave it running
