It's been slow going since I finished the new tower / antenna installation.
Got a couple of new DTVs this weekend...
#184 WTVQ 40 (36) Lexington, Ky. 230 mi. FINALLY! WSIU 40 (8) really clogs this channel. I'll be glad when they go back to channel 8.
#185 WKRC 31 (12) Cincinnati, Oh. 260 mi. Logged this Sunday at 1:15 p.m. Kind of an unusual time for UHF DX. I can watch Cincinnati WSTR 64 (analog) just about any day but it took nearly five months to log my first Cincinnati DTV.
Been seeing little hints of WDKY 4 (56) Danville, Ky. and WCLJ 7 (used to be 65 analog) Beattyville, Ky. but not quite enough to lock on to, yet.
Tropo DXing has been a bit different this Summer / Fall. It used to be the best from just after sunset to a little after sunrise. This Summer / Fall the DX doesn't seem to start until 1 a.m. and runs until nearly mid day. Anyone else noticed this?

I haven't been able to check TV, but I've noticed some Tropo in the mornings on FM as I head to work. I've also noticed Tropo at lunch, again on FM. Then once I get home at night - nada! I'm not around in the wee hours of 1 a.m. but have thought it rather strange to hear the morning DX lasting until lunch.
