Well not really "tropo" but the e-skip over on VHF-lo has been pretty strong over the last 2 hrs.

Have seen these so far.
2-1 KNOP RF2
3-1 KOTA RF2
4-1 KSNB RF4 (first time getting it - 773.9 miles)
6-1 KWNB RF6
6-1 KBSD RF6

@stent00
I always look at the reception for London and area. There is just a small tight group that cares. I used to post all the time, but I have been busy lately.

I would have to say I get reception for Detroit, Cleveland, and Erie quite a bit lately with the warm weather. I just don't report it.

Thank you for the update don't fret it.

I can always tell when other people are getting tropo from Detroit. When it happens I lose 29.1 from Oil Springs and/or 13.1 from Kitchener. LOL I'm hoping 17.1 Paris will be more reliable when it goes on air. Right now, I've lost 13.1 so it's likely WTVG (Toledo) and/or WZZM (Grand Rapids) are interfering. 29.1 is intermittent as well. I figure it probably gets tropo interferes from its own transmitter.

My reception of 29.1 has been very intermitent over the past few days as well. I think rf 29 out of Toledo is possibly the reason. There is also an rf 29 out of Traverse City Michigan which could have an affect. I am also hoping for an improved situation from ch 17 Paris. The grade A contour boundary line runs through my neighbour's backyard so it should be good.....but then you have to worry about WKYC Cleveland tropo. Ideally they should have put a transmitter on ch 19 from the tower in Byron.
