Is it Tropo or is DFW LP analog coming in better than ever?

[eskipper411]

I just got a new tv which has an analog and digital tuner in it which can tell signal strength for both tuners and here are the strengths(10 bars= 100%)
KNAV 22: 60%(6 bars)
K25FW 25: 70%(7 bars)
KHPK 28: 60%(6 bars)
KUVN 47: 50%(5 bars)
K-SEX 57: 30%(3 bars)
I am confused.

From far west Allen, TX:
K31GL-D was in for an hour or so (I WANT MY COOL-TV ;D )
I just caught KWBU 34.1 on RF 20 for a minute or so before it cliffed.
KJJM-LP 34 has been available since early afternoon on Aug 1.

Many other channels show something on the signal meter but no picture.

There may be more of this kind of thing over the next few days...

I did manage to pick up KAUZ, KFDX and XHRIO at 3 in the morning.

Good tropo catch today: while rescanning my Channel Master converter box for the KTVT/KTXA thing tonight, it picked up Waco's KXXV (virtual channels 25.1 through 25.3; RF channel 26). All three subchannels were clear - no pixellation or dropouts - and my antenna's not even pointed toward Waco!

My first catches beyond the Red River... I was able to pick up from north Fort Worth three stations from Tulsa over the past couple of hours: The strongest, and still hanging on, is KQCW 19.1 Tulsa (RF-20). The other two: KOKI 23.1 Tulsa (RF-22) and KDOR 17.1-5 Bartlesville (RF-17). Others were visible on my Zenith converter box but couldn't get a picture or data. They were RF channels 15, 21, 24, 29, and 33.
