mrpeter105,
I would think that CKVR would be a regular for your area!

There was some mild tropo forecast for last night and this morning til noon.

There is also a strong storm system moving in from the southwest tonight that may cause some out of the ordinary reception issues.

Had to step out for a bit. Just got back.

Marbles_00: Yeah it looks like it has died down now. Just a bit of tropo.

ota_canuck: It is regular. However I need the K6STI yagi to snag it with enough margin to keep it regular. The KROSS has never decoded that channel before so this was its first time. I also stuck some narods on my SBGH gen2 and it's right on the edge. So it falls into periods of lost signal. I just added those the other day and have to play around with them more.

It's actually a tricky signal. Not as easy to get as you'd think. Also I have to get it from behind and 9 and 11 from the front.
