I've been seeing a lot of tropospheric ducting going on between southern Florida all the way to Corpus Christi Texas. You can check out this map which will forecast for you what VHF/UHF propagation is going to look like. http://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html

The other day I was on 2 meter SSB (144.2100 MHZ) talking to a group of guys, some in Pensacola and Mobile, and I'm in MS on the gulf coast, and then another guy 217 miles away from my in south west Louisiana. I was running 20 watts with a 3 element 2 meter yagi sitting on a camera tripod in my living room next to the radio. 217 mile conversation with just 20 watts!!! and the antenna wasn't even outside of the house. Signals are good.
