Thanks Nick, 

I have been watching your propagation reports from Victoria (usually including several DU's each morning) and was very curious how Fiji's blowtorch signal would make the trip to Vancouver Island this morning. Apparently it didn't make the trip very well at all. Bill W. will be in this area in a couple of days, and have a chance to hear this rejuvenated Pacific island wonder for himself. 

>From what I understand, 558-Fiji's transmitter was donated by the Japanese government (maybe so that Japanese DXers could hear the station better?).

A first look at the recordings from this morning shows little other 
than a carrier on that channel here in Victoria Gary. Our sunrise 
is a few minutes earlier than yours, but nothing much a few minutes 
earlier either. 

There was a tentative audio on 558 with weak island music on 30 July, 
but that seems to have been it so far. 

best wishes,
