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

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.
