Record tropo this morning(9/10)

T

TheTiger

This morning around 9am, I was getting a country station WQKT 104.5 in Wooster, Ohio, about 365 miles west of Wilkes-Barre(my DXing location). They are announcing the high school sports scores for the other Wooster and surrounding areas. This is my biggest tropo catch since I logged in the classic hits station on 104.3 from E. Liverpool, Ohio on September 1999!

Is this Hurricane Ophelia which is hovering on the Atlantic Ocean 200 miles off from the Florida/Georgia line caused the biggest tropo?

I was getting stations from Chatham and London, ON like locals this morning here in Southern Michigan. While they aren't exactly record tropo catches for me, I did manage to log CJBC-4 99.3 from about 200 miles away. Still not bad!

I don't think it's because of Ophelia. I think it's because of the jet stream that is going to bring 90 degree heat back to the Midwest for the next couple of days.
