[IRCA] North and East Skip

At 01:00 PDT on 03 /21/10 in Victoria a bandscan  reveals much more normal conditions than has been happening in the last week or two. The return of signals from places like Calgary, Dawson Creek, Penticton,BC, Regina SK, Boise ID, etc. might be signalling the end of the effects of the recent Solar storm. And the change has taken place rather quickly as in 24 hours. And signals that were almost inaudible a night or two ago are now so good that they're exceeding normal levels.Even 1700 in San Diego is running up to an 8 out of 10 on the signal gauge, while 760 SD can only manage a 4. 
CBC 990 Winnipeg shows a 6 of 10 while 1010 Calgary is at 8 but not as loud so maybe a program at a lower modulation volume than 990 while a 2 0f 10 from CBC SK is giving way to an SS speaking signal that I don't see in my list of CanUs stations.A website of Mex stations tells me it's XEWA with 150 KW in Monterey Mexico on 540 and a matching website stream confirms it is them doing a male and female talk show.. Stangely after almost 45 minutes of CBC SK with a good steady signal it has totally disappeared and it's only XEWA and another station playing music. CBC SK is now coming back.
I guess if keep on scanning I'll find a few more things I haven't heard yet but it's time to sign off from Victoria. Bill in BC
