March 29, 2016, 4:05 p.m. Ed, I had an analog show up on channel 4 last year there was e-skip to my south. It was Spanish, but at the time nothing was being received from Mexico or Cuba. It contained an ad for Mexico tourism. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

March 15, 2016, 5:09 p.m. That's just the nature of tropo. Not all spots are created equal, so move your antenna to a different mobile spot and be amazed. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
March 15, 2016, 5:07 p.m. It's a lot more impressive to see these 200-mile signals in a crappy location rather than tropo alley where they occur daily. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

March 7, 2016, 7:29 p.m. Weird thing about this tropo was that closer signals around 100-150 miles were not really there as much as the 200+ mile signals. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
March 7, 2016, 7:28 p.m. I honestly wasn't expecting to see any good tropo last night. I wasn't seeing anything at home, but apparently it's all about location when it comes to the tropo. de Andrew K OH EN91EB
March 7, 2016, 7:19 p.m. Anything within 25 miles is considered home DX, but just in case you were wondering, the grid ID is EN91cd at my typical mobile spot in Montville Township (Medina area) OH where all tropo seems to end up while never appearing at my home. de Andrew K OH EN91EB

March 7, 2016, 2:35 p.m. Jim, my mobile spot is still in EN91... Only 10 miles from home. The elevation is much higher. When I go mobile, I usually go to the same spot. de Andrew k OH EN91EB
