Good radio reception tonight

[yragha]

On my new Insignia hd radio getting kbkk 105.5 out of Alexandria clear as a bell here in Clear lake. Is this station really only 6000w?

Kd 101 & kmks 102.5 are difficult for me but not tonight!

Big dog 106 playing like a Houston rimshot.

I'm not a dxer or whatever but enjoying the K-buck variety.

Major tropo opening last night. I heard the B/PA stations booming in like locals. Good reception to the east.

I haven't actively been seeking out long range stations since I was a kid. Is their a resource that shows what nights might be better than others?

Thx

There's a cool online map that's regularly updated that shows where tropo will likely occur several days in advance along the Gulf Coast. Worth a look:
