I got you beat in tropo catches in the past 2 days :)
Furthest stations were WBQX 106.9 from Maine down to WSFL 106.5 from NC (at the same time, for a duct length of over 750 miles!) Couldn't get to South Carolina this time (last time I had tropo to the south I heard Mix 97.7 from Myrtle Beach). I was also impressed when I DXed the infamous 87.7 pirate station in Boston strong enough to hear it in stereo 250 miles away, it reportedly has 5000 watts. I stayed up till 3 AM both nights DXing the best tropo opening of the summer so far. The tropo was present all day Sunday and Monday with continuous reception of Virginia Beach stations. Most of the stations came in like locals, some Boston and Richmond stations in HD, and both nights there was something on every single frequency. Most of the locals were unlistenable while driving around because of the co channel interference. Logged a total of 163 stations in 2 days.

Well, I just got out of Headliners, and needed time to sober up 8) So I figured I played with the dial to kill time.
