There's a great E-skip opening here in Southeastern WI this evening.

I caught my distance record tonight from my home in Lake Geneva, WI. I'm using a Sony XDR-S10HDiP on a C. Crane FM Reflect antenna.

I've caught a few stations from these areas before. Here are my new catches:

89.3 WKRF Baton Rouge, LA Public Radio "89-3 WKRF" 857 miles (decoded HD call letters, but not full HD signal)
89.9 KSJY St. Martinville, AL Religious "American Family Radio" 880 miles
95.5 KRRQ Lafayette, LA Urban "Q-95.5" 870 miles (decoded HD call letters, but not full HD signal)
95.9 KZLG Mansura, LA Adult Contemp. "Z-95.9" 820 miles
98.1 WNUE Titusville, FL Spanish "Mega 98.1" 1,039 miles
100.3 WRUM Orlando, FL Spanish "Rumba 100.3" 1,051 miles
101.1 WAVV Naples Park, FL Easy Listening "Modern Easy Favorites" 1,198 miles (RDS decoded "WAVV 101") (this is my personal distance record)
102.5 WHPT Sarasota, FL Rock "The Bone" 1,105 miles (RDS decoded "The Bone")
107.9 WIRK West Palm Beach Country "South Florida Country" 1,187 miles

So did you get a full HD signal on any of the above listed stations or were they all strictly analog along with RDS and/or HD call letters only?

Congrats on all your spectacular catches last Saturday (which was my 32nd Birthday). One of the advantages of Summer, besides great outdoors weather, is that it's E-skip season for FM signals. This really helps to make up for the AM skywave and groundwave signals not being as good at this time of the year.
