NOAA Weather Radio Tropo Logs June July 2018
Rob.:
I used to listen to NOAA weather radio most mornings (prior to the Internet) while getting ready for work. When I heard other stations creeping in I'd get on 146.52 during the commute and usually get some interesting contacts. There were also a couple of repeaters that would be regularly heard during tropo as well.
NOAA is a good indicator for 2m tropo just like TV Ch 2 used to be an indicator that the 6m band was open.
Davep:
Thanks for the log R4002 . Interesting !
R4002:
KHB37 out of Virginia Beach, VA and KHB36 out of Manassas, VA often fight each other during the band openings...but I find the "in between" channels - from back when NOAA Weather Radio was only 3 channels 162.400, 162.475 and 162.550 - the in between channels that were added later, 162.425, 162.450, 162.500 and 162.525 are good listening targets since those are the "fill-in" stations. KZZ28 must be on a mountaintop though...because I can hear it with a handheld radio and a stock antenna even when the band is completely closed.
Davep:
Hearing WXM80 on Long Island at nearly 300 miles and KHB38 Atlantic City 200mi this afternoon, with a good signal on the marine radio.
I rarely hear anything from the West even though they may be a lot closer.
R4002:
Dave,
You have the advantage of the ocean - temperature inversion ducting - whereas I only get mine from weather systems. Do you hear the Richmond transmitter ever (WXK65 on 162.475 MHz)? It's located on one of the many towers just south of the James River in Richmond. 1000 watts too.
When I drive to work this morning I'll see if I can hear any early morning ducting
