The TEF6686 collection

This is definitely the shortest hop of e-skip I've ever seen on FM. It's 100.5 WSJD Princeton, Indiana @ 369 miles. It beats my previous short-hop by 8 miles. That indicates the MUF was really high yesterday at the time of reception.

Today was a barn burner of an FM e-skip event! I finally finished counting, and 344 stations were received here by e-skip from live DXing. I still have to review my recordings, but that’ll take forever. The distances ranged from 447 to 1287 miles.

I found a good DX spot at Dead Horse Point State Park in Utah… lots of meteor scatter pings on the TEF6686, and the band is almost free of any strong local signals.

I just got back from a couple National Parks in Utah, and my brother took these amazing photos while we were stargazing out there.

I just had to make a stop here to check this out in Albuquerque.

I’m driving across the country and had to make a stop at WAJK because AJK are my initials 😂

Decent FM skip opening to the Gulf Coast this morning and a lesser opening to the northeast last night

My local 94.9 WQMX looks absolutely terrible on the SDR this morning. I wonder what’s going on. @949WQMX

My boys got me this shirt for Father’s Day

Nice FM opening last night

I noticed this rather intense tropo scatter this afternoon. The fluctuating signals were strong and appeared like e-skip. Nothing super-far, just around 100 miles. I wonder what would've caused this. It only lasted about a minute.

DTV e-skip captured on channel 2 in the past 24 hours

92.1 WYAS Luquillo, Puerto Rico just received here in Ohio at 1,830 miles. that's double hop skip!

My vintage GE P-990A… listening to WRMI 5050 kHz this evening. This radio was manufactured in the mid 60’s.

First decent e-skip opening into FM from around 11 am this morning

Analog TV E-skip now on channel 3 from Cuba 🇨🇺. That’s 1300 miles from my location in Ohio!

Meteor scatter. 106.7 WXXL Orlando Florida at 871 miles in Ohio (PI code 13C5)

107.1 XHCLO Monclova, Coahuila, Mexico 🇲🇽 just received here in Akron, Ohio about an hour ago. That’s 1492 miles and is really pushing the distance for single hop e-skip.

Classic meteor burst on FM, 101 to 108 MHz spectrum on the SDR. This is 103.9 KNZA at 743 miles.
