Not being one to brag, I usually don't post on this list about my tropo
catches. The last few days have been quite good, mostly in the evenings and
mornings. Last night, my best catches were 94.5 WCMS, 97.1 WYND, and 104.9
WFMZ, all over 500 miles from Eastern NC.

Having an outside antenna makes all the difference, mine is the APS-13. That
combined with the Sangean HDT-1X, which is very selective and has very good
RDS pickup, make DXing FM still enjoyable even with all the IBOC around.
