Oct. 17, 2017, 8:49 p.m. My spot's not ideal. Although I live on a cliff and have a great view of locals & northern no-mans land, my south is attenuated by trees for UHF. E & NE is my best direction. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:47 p.m. Bill, I'm not even close to clearing the hill near me. I would need a 150' tower to even clear it, and likely even more to capture the good tropo. It's not worth the bother here. You on the other hand, live near the top of a hill. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:31 p.m. Consider this, on a 600 mile path, the signal path is likely than 1 mile above ground. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:28 p.m. Replacing with a 64' tower made a monstrous difference. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:27 p.m. When I had only a 30' tower (just barely over the hill behind me), Es to the south was okay, but Tr was dreadful. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:26 p.m. Over such long distances, incoming angles are still very low. However, they are likely higher than average (though not as high as ionospheric skip). de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:17 p.m. It seems that these rogue tropo captures occur mainly in flat unobstructed locations. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:15 p.m. William R. Hepburn, how does all this factor into locations that are somewhat terrain shadowed like mine? If bending of these rogue tropo captures only occurs at the ends, then the angle at which the tropo is coming down to earth should be good enough to reach locations that are somewhat shadowed by a horizon that's perhaps a few degrees above the horizontal?? de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:05 p.m. And in my scenario, the bending at the ends might not even need to be very strong. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 8:02 p.m. A lot of the regular tropo ducts 600+ kind of act like this sometimes (weaker middle path tr) - but this would be a case with little or no bending along the path. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:58 p.m. Anyways, just random scenarios floating around my brain. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:55 p.m. - sortof a "tropo skip". de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:55 p.m. - it would also explain why little dx is rx'd along the path - dx sigs travelling overhead - de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:55 p.m. - the geometry would have to line up just right. Sort of like TEP skip - de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:55 p.m. - with straight line travel connecting the 2 ends (i.e. no sig. tropo in between) de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:55 p.m. Gist of my rogue tr theory : what if tr-bending only occurs at the ends of a path - de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:43 p.m. [19:35] I've also noticed the rogue tropo not showing up on APRS. My gut feeling is it's mainly a UHF phenomena. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:37 p.m. Most of the guys who post here (except Jim and Jon), live in better-than-average DX locations. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:35 p.m. Rogue tropo... that doesn't ever happen at my home. I've experienced it only at other locations. And Ed seems to be getting it today, despite that APRS map looking dead. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:35 p.m. I think I'm batting about .700 on days 1-2, but you guys probably have your different thoughts on your situation (lol ......). de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:34 p.m. Expect about 30% of your DX to happen when none is forecast. Expect 30% of the forecasts to go bust. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:33 p.m. I've got some theories about the rogue tropo. Not sure if I'd ever be able to forecast them. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:32 p.m. Also, over the past 2 years we've had more reports of rogue tropo where dx is 600+ miles to one spot, no inbetween dx being received. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:31 p.m. Maps show potential areas, sometimes tropo stays elevated. de WRH ON FN03

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:31 p.m. Also, the forecst can look poor or downright bad, and some good DX ensures. Even this a.m., forecast was totally awful here, yet I had solid steady WSYT Syracuse, and secent reception of a few Scrantons. Nothing distant though. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:29 p.m. Sunday looks good here, too, but forecasts usually change a lot on day 4 and day 3. After that, they tend to settle down. Still, there often is a good forecast at the last miinute and nothing happens here. de dtvdxer NY FN31

Oct. 17, 2017, 7:28 p.m. We don't actually have any evidence that Russia colluded with Cuba to cause e-skip, but I suppose that's why we need an investigation so that the facts can be revealed. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

In that time of less than a week, I broke my all-time tropo distance record from home. It was kinda discouraging to see that I was wasting so much time on my home setup. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

Oct. 4, 2017, 3:21 p.m. That article/dialogue underscored the basics...good antenna design, good location and height, making sure you have good quality products and GOOD connections on your cable ends de Jim-T MO EM37

Oct. 4, 2017, 3:17 p.m. Jim, you're correct. I can get a heck of a lot more gain just by moving to a better spot. TV Fool reports show +/- 30 dB differences in noise margins depending on which side of a hill you're on around here. The only thing those stacked antennas are good for is directivity, but I don't have much CCI here to begin with. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
