Analog TV Ch. 4: All of your E-skip ONLY loggings?

I never got anything because of a local (formerly KOMO-TV), but will you guys post your E-skip logs (ONLY) for Ch. 4 (ONLY)? Not Ch. 2, not 3, not 5, not 6! Only Ch. 4.

What I meant was all your loggings on Ch. 4 more than 600 miles away. Do you guys still have logs anywhere?

Here, I will make a example of what your posts in this thread should look like (I am NOT hijacking)
KDUH Scottsbluff, NE (ABC)
KLBY Colby, KS (ABC)
KNBC Los Angeles, CA (NBC)

That's what I'm looking for, please.

Same deal here...I look at the window at night & the WTTV 4 tower lights are looking back at me. Incidentally, the old analog antenna is still perched on top...they have a CP to move the HDTV antenna to Indiana's highest TV antenna spot, but it hasn't happened yet.

For Me it be hard to DX some E Skip on Channel 4 here in Indianapolis since i got a Local Channel 4 in WTTV as well

??? WTTV broadcasts on 674-680 MHz, not 66-72 MHz. Analog Channel 4 left the air in June.
 
he was asking for people to put their analog ch 4 e-skip logs. and i was stating since i was in CH 4's viewing area. unless CH 4 was off the air i wouldnt be able to get much unless it was over powering on 4
and yes i do realize analog died in June. He was asking for Analog DX Eskip Logs
 
For some reason, channel 4 was always difficult, probably due to interference from 3. 2 never suffered, though there were always the openings where the MUF did not get over 3.

The most common channel 4 signal I would receive in central Connecticut was WTVY-TV (CBS) of Dothan, AL. Others included New Orleans (CBS), Miami (NBC to CBS), Little Rock (NBC), Saint Louis (CBS) and Minneapolis (CBS).
 
I had a nearby channel 4 (WTVY Dothan, AL) up until June 12. Many stations were seen over the top.
One of my favorite TV 4 Es catches was on July 25 this year and can be seen in this video starting at about 2:25 along with some other strong TV and FM Es signals.

Great video.

Kind of reminds me of when I first moved down here and I had a small black and white TV in my room with rabbit ears. Various Spanish channels would come in from 2 to 6 on some summer days but I could never identify where they were from. Even our local channel 3 would struggle to keep a stable picture at times.
