May26 02:16 Tr WLBT 30/3 Jackson, MS. 337 mi. Ed W-KY EM56     (207.162.169.101) 

May26 02:11 Well... I do hv a sub-d sig on ch 14 but who knows if it's BR=LA or just lcl / semi-lcl clutter. Ed W-KY EM56     (207.162.169.101) 

May26 02:11 yes pat I would like to know too how much rain did you receive at your location? did you get flooded? - amfmtvdtvbrla  EM40     (68.225.96.56) 

May26 02:01 Tnx amfm-etc... 400 miles seems to be the limit, so far. Local clutter (+/- 100 mi) is getting quite strong. Ed W-KY EM56     (207.162.169.101) 

May26 02:00 Pat did you get flooded? > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225)

May25 22:00 Enough chatter about our DXing histories...I want some SKIP!!!!   N8NU     (72.240.16.224) 

May25 20:24 didn't get a DTT901 until October 2008 (from the soon-to-die Circuit City) - de WA5IYX     (69.152.232.166) 

May25 20:23 of course, Coupons arrived next day - got a Philco unit with one and a Digital Stream from RS with other - de WA5IYX     (69.152.232.166) 

May25 20:22 in Mar 2008 I got tired of waiting for Coupons so got the HVR950 to at least see what locals looked like - de WA5IYX     (69.152.232.166) 

May25 20:19 20:05 I remember those lock-ups well. Danny     (4.231.5.142) 

May25 20:15 20:10 I know how you felt. My first was KWTX-DT-56 Waco, TX. Danny-LA     (4.231.5.142) 

May25 20:11 That was problem on USD as well, but not as tough as Accurian. Window of opportunity for add was small. Danny     (4.231.5.142) 

May25 20:10 First Digital Station I logged was 15 WEWS (5) Cleveland Ohio...Just across Lake Erie!!! Was so excited ...thought I had just logged Mars!!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 20:09 RS Accurian was good with Es, but button-pressing to add channel and see PSIP was difficult. Danny-LA      (4.231.5.142) 

May25 20:08 There was NOTHING in CANADA as far as Digital Boxes went...Had to buy the 3 I had off EBAY sellers. If they were in CANADA...I sure couldn't find 'em!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 20:08 Au 6m in the NE - MN to down to New Hampshire now > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 20:06 Those early Boxes were Dinosaurs...but hey...they got me my first 50-60 Digital TV Stations!!  It was fun when I first got them....everything was new!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 20:05 My USDigital Box was really sensitive too....but it also Locked up at times. Needed a Special "Unlock" Series of button pushes on remote to UNLOCK IT!!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 20:02 Due to multipath issues Es decodes were very short bursts.  USDigital box was best for me at decoding DTV DX through local analogs. Danny-LA     (4.231.5.142) 

May25 20:00 I did manage three DTVs via Es on the ATSC-11.  KVBC and WKYC multiple times. KOTA once. Danny-LA     (4.231.5.142) 

May25 19:43 I'll never forget when I got my ATSC-11 (10/06).  I tried it on an indoor antenna in a bedroom, 10 miles from the tower farm, and NOT ONE station would decode, thought it was broken  N8NU     (72.240.16.224) 

May25 19:42 The ATSC-11 is resonably sensitive and reliable, and the multiple output options are nice - but it demands a multipath-free signal to work  N8NU     (72.240.16.224) 

May25 19:29 I Like this little "Modernized" (as compared to the Others I Had), INSIGNIA BOX...it works well....and is sensitive!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 19:27 Also had a USDIGITAL TV Box as well....also sold it at the same Hamfest. Saw a lot on that as it was my first Digital TV Access!!! de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199) 

May25 19:26 I had a HUMAX too....and it used to lock up all the time!!! Sold it at a Local Hamfest!!  Still have an Old RCA ATSC11 which wasn't bad. Haven't used it for a while de ROB VA3SW EN92     (99.255.110.199)

May25 19:08 The Humax tuner I had did that - but that tuner is a brick now as the firmware was garbage - wouldn't mind trying out the DTV Pal Plus if it does this - WRH     (24.36.208.172) 

May25 19:06 Must be annoying to any regular users - list filled up with channels they can't watch 90% of the time  N8NU     (72.240.16.224) 

May25 19:05 My DTV Pal Plus has an interesting quirk - It DXes by itself when it is turned off!  Woke up to find WCMZ 28 on the menu  N8NU     (72.240.16.224)

May25 04:06 Davis: I doubt the transition had anything to do with it except for the fact that you need to pay closer attention now because all of the early warnings are gone.  I looked once, and I don't even think there is a DTV target in Es range for me ... Mike     (76.102.95.18)

May25 04:05 Knowing my luck, Murphy is probably giving the east coast as much Es as the west so far, but all endpoints are in the ocean.  So someone on a boat somewhere is having a heyday on their radio - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 04:04 [4:01] Lol!  And in that scenario, the yearly Es has been warning signs of the impending zap that just happened to affect broadcasting - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 04:04 I haven't had more than 3 new stations in 1 day since 7/20/2011. I log all because Es is special ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 04:03 We need simultaneous 107.9 Es in both Washington and Washington, DC, as well as Nebraska. Sound good? I'm putting in my bid. > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 04:03 What I find interesting since the DTV transition is how abrupt FM MUFs are.  When analog TV 2-6 was in via Es, FM would trickle in slowly but steady.  Now if we're not careful, its up to 93 FM instantly without warning, at least here - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 04:01 [03:58] I'd love to see everyone have a great season, providing that it isn't because the sun is prepping for a kill shot ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 04:01 I had a massive, 5-10-13-like opening on 6/29 that year (2010). Colorado, KS, NE, WY. Three hours of good skip. Then ND and MB on 7/5, as well as more CO, ending with San Diego/Tijuana. > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 04:00 Since 2005, my best year was 2010 (125 logs). My best month was Jul 2007 (71 logs). With stats like that, its depressing hearing what eastern DXers get ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:59 We need an online device that alerts you with sirens and flashing - "WARNING! OREGON TO NEW MEXICO ON 89.9 MHZ! CHECK RADIO NOW!" :D > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:58 [3:55] I agree.  Not at the expense of any DXers *not* getting skip in favor of east coasters, of course, but it should even out (if I had my choice) by July 31 - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:58 6m map is 50 MHz...below analog ch.2. The best it can tell you about FM is that MUFs are rising or falling, and from the amount of chasing my tail I have done in the past several years, it gets to FM less than 10% of the time there are targets shown on the map ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:57 Last year here: 1 in May, 6 in June, 1 in all of July. Only the July one was sustained for over an hour or so. - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:56 Now we have LPTV's on 6 acting as *LPFMs*, but that will change soon - LP switch off date is 2015 IIRC > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:56 It was great to have US analog TV on 87.7 back in the day! > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:55 Pacific NW is having (what seems to be) a good start to the year.  I hope that spreads out geographically. Time will tell ...Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:54 However - it's harder and harder to "find out" when Es will hit FM. Without US on TV2-6 it's almost impossible unless Mexico is booming in. And you said 6 meter maps is a waste of time for chasing weak FM Es > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:54 OK...got it.  You're right, but here Es on ch.4 was even a bad indicator.  If it hit Ch.5, I went straight to radio ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:53 Seattle: I never mentioned analog TV so I don't follow your context ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:52 Before, TV2 was the best Es warning. Rolling bars and CCI - what could go wrong? > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:52 There are differences from one side of the country to the other that having little or nothing to do with the number of available targets.     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:52 Mike - it's as good as it gets. There's no such thing as U.S. analog TV anymore. No one gets WPBT on *analog* channel 2. No one gets KOMO on *analog* channel 4. > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:51 Last year had zero May openings, 2011 had one, 2010 had three. > Seattle CN97     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:51 Chasing maps with 50-60 MHz MUFs has been a waste of time in the west.  Es doesn't even tickle FM until MUF is in the 70s.  In the east, FM Es is often reported on a widespread basis with MUF in the 55-62 range.     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:49 I had 4 May openings in 2010 and 2011. Other years range from 1 to 3.  Two this year, but that equates to 5 logs and only one new ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:41 And for [3:36], make that I haven't had 7 FM openings in May since 2006. - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:41 Oops, make that 2008, not 2007 - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:41 Even 2007, which had a whopping 20 FM openings in-season with 246 new logs, only had 3 total openings in May - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:38 Part of me is afraid 2013 overall will turn out to be a dud due to Murphy, but I haven't seen any year since 2006 where I've had 7 FM openings (regardless of strength/duration/MUF).  Hopefully its a sign of good things to come - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:36 At lunch today, I pulled in one station from NM on a local frequency from a garage surrounded by high-rises with microwave dishes, multipath, QRM, jets echoing off the buildings and creating aircraft scatter.  Is that anti-Murphy or determination?     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:34 LM, a remote setup = no Es while DXers across-town have 107.9 Es Lol.  I'm just hoping this is an early-season anomoly, but after 2012 (with a 35-day lull), anything is possible, including an early May season ending.  Hopefully I'll be graciously proven wrong. - David FM18     (76.111.73.8) 

May25 03:34 If its no skip, it might be a lack of understanding of what creates it in the first place.  Luck, magic & Murphy all often correspond to lack of understanding ... Mike     (76.102.95.18) 

May25 03:31 Murphy is a catch-all for everything from no skip to had something better to do. If its priorities, its not the mythical creature's fault ... Mike     (76.102.95.18)

May25 03:13 Justin,  The onset of major Es varies from year to year. May 10 was just a bonus for us. - Rick N6KCR Seattle     (76.121.105.43) 

May25 03:05 Sorry Mike.  LM/FM29 next year i am breaking the problem by setting up a remote setup.       (74.103.157.91) 

May25 03:05 Mike there's many that have that problem. LM FM29, David in FM18, sometimes DN64 and Rick in Seattle have problems... > Seattle     (76.22.36.225) 

May25 03:03 Isn't it traditionally a good weekend for skip? I remember back in Green River in 2010 not having good skip until late May early June, then it blew up - Dn64     (63.155.115.174)

May25 02:56 David i am in for that, lol.  LM/FM29     (74.103.157.91)

May24 16:17 I didn't note much else Jim.  Unusual that there was no trace of Norfolk on 94.7.  101.5 was Ottumwa instead of Columbia, and no 96.7 Columbia either, so no indication of great conditions to my southeast. - Matt Omaha     (132.3.49.81)

May24 14:00 Thus, can't see the excitement about Europe. Different world. Just like DX-wise, South Carolina is vastly different from Seattle, and would be if paths and number of target stations were similar. Interesting, but we can drive ourselves crazy over the differences. I used to do that. Doesn't change a thing, though. Just adds to frustration. - Rick N6KCR Seattle     (76.121.105.43)

May24 13:57 The winter skip season doesn't do much in the north versus the south (although there are exceptions.) Phoenix often featured an evening TV opening every week or so in active autumns, culminating in long winter TV openings. Not as much even in L.A. or Bakersfield.

May22 23:07 Probably the second-best "early" opening was May 23 (from Bakersfield CA), I think 1981--a Saturday night. DX in and out in waves of activity, then broke wide open into several states. Think I logged over 30 new ones that night. - Rick N6KCR Seattle     (76.121.105.43)

May22 23:03 [21:57] Most seasons really pick up May 25-30, but nothing's guaranteed. Seattle's May 10 5-hour DX was the best/longest I've seen so early. It's not typical, and I was lucky to get it. - Rick N6KCR Seattle     (76.121.105.43)

May22 21:58 For some reason, winter Es are few and far between here, though it could also have to do with increased work schedule (Christmas rush.) de Eric B     (69.246.65.137) 

May22 21:57 Right you are, Rick! I've had seasons where it didn't start until mid-JUNE. I've also had seasons where Es were all gone by mid-JULY. Then again, I've had Es as early as mid-April and as late as early September. de Eric B, Carleton, MI     (69.246.65.137) 

May22 21:49 [20:49] Not unusual for this part of May. Things should really start rockin' in the coming week. But I've seen a few seasons where even early June was quiet. - Rick N6KCR Seattle     (76.121.105.43)

May22 21:12 - in those cases, patches of tropo can exist between storms - with conditions changing rapidly - WRH     (24.36.208.172) 

May22 21:12 The one I'm thinking of was during the morning (800-1000 ELT) back around 1991 or so. de Eric B, Carleton, MI     (69.246.65.137)

May22 21:09 [19:39] tropo with thunderstorms can happen with mid-level based storms - especially nocturnal storms at night - WRH     (24.36.208.172) 

May22 21:07 - but not in a zonal flow where the weather systems are all whipping along at a fair clip - WRH     (24.36.208.172) 

May22 21:07 [20:36] depends on situation - what you describe might happen in an omega block where high pressure is stationery - WRH      (24.36.208.172) 

May22 21:04 Midpoints are where all the action is. Have never seen any theory nor can I wrap my brain around one where what's happening at the endpoints has any significance - WRH      (24.36.208.172) 

May22 21:03 #1 month for E-skip is June,  #2 month for severe weather is June - is it any wonder we lots of alerts on DX stations in tornado alley? - WRH     (24.36.208.172)

May22 20:36 A friend of mine has a therory on tropo and thunderstorms, like here along the east coast if there is tropo it usually is a sign that thunderstorms will die on their way east towards the coast.  LM/FM29     (74.103.157.91)

May22 19:39 I've also had tropo during thunderstorms, though that's more rare than Es during thunderstorms. My understanding is tropo is lower atmosphere, while Es is middle or upper atmosphere. de Eric B     (69.246.65.137) 

May22 19:38 I would tend to agree with Danny. I've had Es come across here, even during severe weather. I've also had Es with severe weather alerts on the sending stations. de Eric B, Carleton, MI     (69.246.65.137)

May22 16:35 re 15:49, I go with the theory that T-storms don't cause Es but can enhance it when present over the midpoint - Steve K3PHL FN20     (68.80.167.119)

May22 02:29 Canal Cinco relayer on 4 with Sinaloa political ads was received here last week for what seemed like an eternity. Danny     (4.231.135.123) 

May22 02:26 Have you seen a text ID on XHMAF-4 Mazatlan? Canal Cinco relayer. Danny-LA     (4.231.135.123)
