E-skip and tropo today

F

E-skip and tropo are two things FM DXers love. I had both at the same time this afternoon in Manistee, MI.

92.3 - KKVT Grand Junction, CO - George Harrison "Got My Mind Set On You", heard Mountain Time, then ID "The Vault 92.3"
92.7 - unID hot AC station - All-American Rejects "Gives You Hell" - 12:10 ET/11:10 CT/10:10 MT
100.7 - KMOZ Grand Junction, CO - ID for Moose Country
98.3 - unID country station - Terri Gibbs "Somebody's Knockin" into Billy Currington "Hey Girl" - 12:45 ET/11:45 CT/10:45 MT; this one could be tropo from WCQM
93.1 - KMGJ Grand Junction, CO - station trying to sneak in under WIMK, heard a mention of downtown Montrose and Grand Junction and Montrose are quite close to each other
93.3 - WBSZ Ashland, WI - Zac Brown Band "Jump Right In" into ID
93.3 - unID country station - Jake Owen "The One That Got Away" - 12:55 ET/11:55 CT/10:55 MT (KUBL??)
99.3 - WKEB Medford, WI - obituaries mentioning Withee and Gilman, then ad mentioning Colby and K99 (over WOWN!)

Your country catch on 98.3 could have been KATR/Otis, CO 'Kat Country'. I caught them here in Ohio once before on an e-skip.

That's possible. After posting this, I did confirm that my 92.7 was KKCH Glenwood Springs, CO. Having tropo and E-skip at the same time is sort of confusing. WCQM (which I have received before) would fall right into the tropo path today (WBSZ and WKEB were my two new tropo logs today).

And looking at other 93.3s, I'm 95% certain the second country 93.3 is KUBL. I wouldn't rule out KBLB Nisswa, MN or KGGL Missoula, MT (KBLB would be very long tropo and KGGL/KUBL would be very long Es; but the two other 93.3s in that area (KMOR and KTCL) are both rock stations)
 
I had something coming in and out most of last night (started in the late afternoon), on TV Channel 2, at Salt Lake City.
Analog TV, but couldn't tell much about the origin or matter.
It was every 30 seconds or so.
 
Here in northern VA, I just heard several stations with tropo in unusual directions.

WROZ 101.3, Lancaster, PA
WRVV 97.3 Harrisburg, PA
WRDX 92.9 Dover, DE, also known as Tom FM
WQMZ 95.1 Charlottesville, VA
WXCY 103.7 in NE MD,
WBNN 105.3 Dilwyn (sp?), VA
and some of the stations that come in weak are stronger than usual.

This just happened today. The dxinfocentre showed some blue and green over my area.

Likely either CHBX (CTV, Soo Ontario, still analog) or Mexico.
