Tropo Mid Day

[rr60]

It is not to often I see VHF UHF band wide open mid day. I suspect usually cold offshore
waters are contributing along with warm temperatures inland.

I am seeing 4 distinct Pilot Carrier’s (500.310) indicating 4 TV 19’s on 500-506 MHZ are in. These pilots are offset by a few HZ to avoid interference. Some of these are several hundred miles away.

Heading into work the morning NJ101.5 was being blown out by a Cape Cod radio station and I picked up a country music station north of New Haven clear.

I can confirm that the ocean water off NJ is cold! It's cold at the beach too. It could be the butt shaped clouds too!

Couldn't get a clear enough signal and wasn't in the car long enough to catch a callsign - but on my way to work this morning 94.7 WXBK was getting stepped all over. After some quick research, I assume by either WMAS (Enfield CT) or judging by my location in Central NJ, WDSD (Dover DE).
