As others have witnesses my 1255 UTC observation of plenty of nothing on the bands turned to joy by my second look at 1424UTC --
Starting at the bottom: Audio snatches on 558, 567 (JJ), 594 (Huge JJ), 603 KK Murmurs, 612 (EE), 621 Massive het with near audio, 639 CC YL, 702 murmurs in the splash 729 Het on Vancouver (always think of it as CKLG - its 60's call sign...) 738 Murmurs, 747 BIG JJ, 828 Big JJ, 837 JJ, 846 Actual loud YL in something Not JJ, Not CC, not Korea... vaguely Tagalog'ish... could it be? Audio murmurs in the splash on 891 quite loud at times, 909, 918, 972 BIG KK, 1017, 1026 that sounded quite Jam like... 1098 Big carrier low audio.... 1116 EE Talk.... 1143 YL CC Talk, 1242 JJ, 1386 JJ, 1566 and 1575 notable by their "meh" lack of umph.... All that in 7 minutes of observations. Moral of the story (according to the YL.) "Stop getting up so early... you need to get up 15 minutes before sunrise..."
