Midwest tropo anyone?

[Saul]

Anyone in the midwest doing well on tropo? The real-time maps look ncredibly good...

Deadband here last night, but looks promising for Monday and Tuesday mornings.

There are some nice tropo conditions in 144 MHz this Saturday evening. Good signals being reported from Wisconsin to northern Alabama and Georgia, Indiana to Arkansas, etc. Anyone getting this on FM or higher?

Some great tropo this evening in central Indiana. I've had both Springfield, MO and Tuscaloosa, AL on 33. Both are over 400 miles distant.

I don't even have an outside antenna up yet since I moved. I'm using a Zenith Silver Sensor indoor antenna with Motorola preamp.

Tuscaloosa, AL, nice! another 175 miles and it will be in my neck of the woods. I am getting Birmingham on 106.9 at 210 miles north but nothing into the big opening yet. A recent report on the 2 meter prop logger shows KY5R in north Alabama to K9VHF near Sheboygan, WI exchanging 5x9+30 reports... as if they were 5 miles apart! They are about 615 miles!
Amazing.

I got some tropo Saturday from Omaha, NE - 280 mile tropo. Also northern IA.
