Right, Bruce.  This is the Pacific Rim National Park Radio which I agree is 
a regular in Grayland, especially during the day (when everyone else is 
usually sleeping!).  I believe that the transmitter is in the park, just 
south of Tofino.

Perhaps, Bill, you were monitoring the National Park broadcast, but that's 
not audible here in Victoria.  I'm on the ferry regularly, and can confirm 
that the 1260 transmitter at Swartz Bay has been off for some years now
