Although I usually can pick up the Sanilac County Sheriff Dept. on 155.535 / 155.5375 during the late night they are booming in now.
I'm about 10 miles northeast of the London airport.

Best Wishes: Rick

Yes, the radio signals are sure coming in tonight.
I am in Eastern Ontario picking up Quebec, NY, Vermont. Trying to log new control channels for systems as well, when i come across them, for next time.

Here is a link to a tropo forecast map, used to determine intensity of radio signal contours for
Eastern Canada, and NorthEast United States.

Looks like a cold front will be coming in the from the west, that will supress the signals, thus
no more tropo, for a little while, Oh well.

It would seem it usually occurs ahead of a storm system or a frontal boundary, a day or 2 ahead
And especially when theres a large geographic area of dense fog, rf enhances very well through it.

According to the intesity map, theres a wide area of green from Western G.T.A to Detroit Michigan, with high peek yellows in London, and Windsor.
Well other areas, such as where i am are moderate but better then normal.
The Maps are divided into each day, but for the current day/night it has seperate maps for 6 hour intervals of Rf intensity change.

But i use this as guide, for rf exploration.
