At 0043 UT 24 Feb (1643 PST 23 Feb 2026) I gave a tune to my local, which is on 162.40 mhz: VFV-785 in Chilliwack BC roughly 50 km west of me. Here's 15 minutes of forecast in both English and French with ID and closedown announcement.

No reception here of any others as well as the coast guard stations around 161 mhz
