Spent the weekend at Point No Point, about 90 minutes from Victoria near the western entranceway to Juan de Fuca Straights. I brought along my Tecsun 380, modified with a larger ferrite rod by Gary Deboek. Listened between 12:30 to 13:00 from the comfort of a electrically very quiet and comfortable cabin in an easy chair looking across to the Olympic Peninsula. The only audio I heard weakly was JOAK 594 in Japanese, and 774 which presumably was Australia. So glad that Nick confirmed my minimalist findings. 73, Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC
