Toronto Tropo Time?

I guess its tropo time in Toronto from signals in Buffalo.Is it just luck or, as I was scanning through the dial while setting the clock on my little clock radio in my room I picked up WKSE 98.5!!! Is this impressive or what? I live in Etobicoke too..not the east end which is good for Buffalo stations.I checked during the day and the radio was still picking up buffalo although stronger at night.

It seems that if you're lucky enough to have the right "little clock radio" it is more powerful than a stereo somehow.Years ago I owned what I thought, was a cheap dollar store radio, but it impressed me in its ability to pick up more stations than my stereo did at the time...or did I just have a cheap stereo? (lol) Not likely because it was the kind of stereo that still had the metal buttons for tape deck, not the cheap plastic buttons that came out later.
 
Its a small $20 clock radio from the Sony Store. Last night was amazing Tropo. My home stereo still picks up better than the clock radio and was locking in ALL buffalo stations clearly....enough that if you set it in 5.1 surround mode there was no hissing.
