That's quite impressive, considering Es affects the FM BCB much less than it affects lowband TV.
I have YET to receive any one TV station at any one receiver location by both Es and Tr, and I really have been trying.
I have received WWMT everywhere I've lived or cabined, and I did receive WWMT by Es - in Colorado Springs :-).
My best chance would probably be to get KARK-4 by Es in the last two Es seasons. I've had KARK by sporadic-E from Detroit (Eastside), Detroit (Westside), Honor and Manistique. This past August, it came into Temperance by trop! at 684 miles, it shouldn't be too hard.
Next best chance would be to get either KYW-3 or WPVI-6 (451 miles) by Tr, both of which I got by Es from Temperance at the beginning of the legendary opening of 6 July 2004. I also might have had WDKY-DT 4 by Es in that opening (had no DTV to ID it with) and tentatively received it by trop last summer (couldn't get it to lock with WDIV and WCMH analog QRM).
Back in the day that I could use Ms on TV, the doubles with both trop and skip were much easier to do. Almost every station I had logged by Ms (more than 20 from Detroit East) was also received by Trop. One notable Tr/Ms double happened when I was watching WKYC (96 miles) by weak Tr and the same station (in local program at that time) burst through for about 1/4 of a second by Ms!
