Actually, I believe that 765 wasn't that uncommon on the Vancouver 
Island coast in the '80s Gary, back when it was 2ZK  (I wonder what 
Patrick remembers; bound to be a QSL!).   Even heard it at home a 
time or two, using unamplified box loop and transmogrified HRO if I 
remember right.   But, propagation changes over the years it seems.

best wishes,

Nick
