Great Tropo Opening Saturday morning 7/17

D

From here in Poughkeepsie, NY, I was getting very good Philadelphia area DTV reception early Saturday morning, but nothing new. But then around 8:45am I turned the TV back on and found a nice tropo opening to the Maryland - DC area. The following were received, all with fully decoded picture and sound.

WMPT-22 Annapolis, MD, with Maryland Public Television, plus "V-Me" on 22.3.
WDCW-50 Washington, DC "CW50"... with "This TV" on 50.2.
WFDC-14 Arlington, VA, Univision.
WBAL-11 Baltimore, MD, NBC, with "11 Plus" weather on 11.2.
WJZ-13 Baltimore, MD, CBS Early Show.
WDCA-20 Washington, DC, with infomercial.
WTTF-5 Washington, DC, Fox-5.
WMAR-2 Baltimore, MD, kids programming.

Best opening in quite a while, with all the above in the 220 - 260 mile range. The troopo had died out by 9:30am. I didn't get the chance to try FM.

You can see screen shots of all my latest DX at the flickr link below.
 
I was driving up to Long Island from NJ this morning. I noticed that the Baltimore and DC stations were putting up a fight with the co-channel New York stations both in NJ and Long Island.
