Good conditions for Late Summer VHF / UHF Tropo? Could be!

[ThaDood]

It's been incredibly dry here in SW West Virginia, where even the GND Rods need to be kept moist for conductivity. Well, this next week the weather here calls for mid-90's in the day, and 60's at night, even foggy mornings. That's, usually good makings for nice Tropo for VHF / UHF  Propagation, from like midnight, to maybe 9AM. Best indicators for that are distant NOAA weather Radio FREQ's, from 162.400MHz - 162.550MHz FM. TV / FM DX'ers may get some good catches here. And, don't forget to try DX MURS VHF and GMRS UHF. Don't forget those Amateur Radio simplex FREQ's. This map site could be helpful as well.  https://www.dxinfocentre.com/tropo.html    So, hopefully, HAPPY VHF / UHF DX'ing!

Nice Western  / Eastern Tropo after 04:00 UTC, 8/27/2024, from Ashland, KY WX FREQ 162.550MHz. Normally, this station is just at Squelch threshold, on my outside Discone Antenna, here in SW West Virginia. However, that WX station was full-quieting on the indoor scanner antennas. (Nice...) Now, if we could only get this condition on a weekend night.
