Boomer, alerted me to this RW article.    https://www.radioworld.com/global/letter-sporadic-e-affects-tv-signals-too       I miss TV Sporadic "E" DX'ing, but can still do it on FM. Plus, Tropo DX can still be had on VHF High Band and UHF TV Channels. When you hear a band opening, like distant 162MHz Weather Stations, do a re-scan on your TV off-air, with an antenna. It might surprise you of just what you might see, and how far.

Never thought of going that high for sporadic E. I'm still looking for a somewhat close signal between 54 and 88MHz. It was way easier before HDTV.
