Post by: Skipmuck on March 20, 2017, 0159 UTC

Hearing weak music at 0157 UTC amidst heavy local QRN. Unid song by OM singer...kind of a thumping rock tune at 0201 UTC...into electronica?
0209 UTC Hearing an OM talking but nada on the copy
0210 UTC OM saying "Happy Equinox"  :)
0222 UTC I can tell there is something there under the local noise, but no luck on the copy

 And a Happy Equinox to you too! :)

Fair into Victoria, BC at 02:38 UTC.  Beautiful day, so I was repairing/raising my antennae a little higher!  Burbling ute every 10 or 15 seconds, lasting about 3 seconds.  Tough catch, so I'm thinking further to the east coast vs WCNA or mid west.  First time for me.

Just mentioned Radio YHWH at 02:49 UTC.  QSL to CANSWL (at) gmail (dot) com.  Only just above threshold.  Noise floor not too bad at -115 to - 120 dB.
