When the FM Band Goes Transatlantic! RW rip...

https://www.radioworld.com/tech-and-gear/nicks-signal-spot/when-the-fm-band-goes-transatlantic    Well, back in 1985, the then testing WJQZ 93.5FM, on the Construction Permit, later got a QSL request from Egypt. So, it can indeed happen. You will notice that the majority of these stations heard were on FREQ´s below 100MHz. So, that MUF might be around the 100MHz limit at these times. Interesting... (Thanks again Boomer for FWRíng this.) Above 100MHz, Tropo is more likely to make the DX haul.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
