Just out of curiousity, how far away are these systems you are hearing?

~100 air miles to Chicago

~80 air miles to Milwaukee

Yep Tropospheric Ducting has been having fun over the lake today. Been picking up Milwaukee NOAA weather radio (about 80 miles or so away) on 162.400mhz down here in Berrien Springs in Berrien County. Dosent sound like much but the NOAA weather station in South Bend (about 15 miles away from me) is also on 162.400mhz and Milwaukee has been walking all over it today. They are both 1000 watt stations.
