Your most frequent tropo/Eskip station

X

Xale57

Location Northeast NJ
Most frequent tropo: WBBO Ocean Acres, NJ. (B98.5) 77 miles. I receive it almost every night/morning from Spring-early Fall.
Most frequent Eskip: WLYF (101.5 Lite FM) from Miami, FL -1083 miles
 
This is a fun thread idea!

My single most common catch that I can consider to be Tropo is 101.5 KJHM Watkins, CO (97.7 mi). During normal conditions, I can't recieve it inside my house, but I can recieve it weakly outside my house. The instant Tropo hits, it becomes a strong force on my radio. Other than that, I also look for 98.7 KSID from Sidney, NE (84 mi) as a sign that things are kicking off.

I try to seek out 94.5 KLIQ Hastings (334 miles) during really good troposhperic ducts, and I find that KCGC Sterling (91 miles) can be a bit of a pest. (Although I do love country). Despite this, I've snagged KLIQ right over KCGC several times.

I don't really have a common E-skip catch yet, but I've had the Tennessee path three times already.
 
East Tennessee: It's tough to answer because there is so little I've gotten more than once. The Florida catches I've gotten in Ohio seem just out of range in East Tennessee. (no Tampa, Orlando, Winter Haven etc) but I've gotten Southwest Florida a couple of times. The Bahamas, Cuba, and the Cayman Islands have found my car radio. I've gotten Texas (Dallas and Houston areas), Wyoming, Montreal (which might be my most frequent), even Prince Edward Island. Best tropo: Tropo is rare here, most frequent is WGTZ, Eaton, OH and WFCJ, Miamisburg, OH.

Ohio: A lot of Florida, Louisiana, Texas, with some Colorado and Wyoming.

Most frequent station both places: 93.9 KSWN, McCook, NE
 
For e-skip, probably KTAR 92.3 Phoenix (seems to pop up every 2-3 weeks), last year it seemed to be KPHT-95.5 Pueblo (huge signal every time).
