Well, With this cold snap in the center of N. America, I've been hoping to pick up a few channels, but so far nothing special... It's always interesting to pick up OTA a hundred plus miles away.

Most of the time when there is heavy moist cloud cover DXing for me works best

So far my record is a Tropospheric 350+ miles away.
There are 3 PBS stations I leave programmed in my TV, They are 85 mile away signals. It is actually uncommon for them not to come in.

I do that at times with FM signals. I've gotten enough of radio signals to hear the ID at the top of the hour from about 300 miles away too. Are the signals you get digital TV? Back when analog TV ruled, one of our TV channels was at times overridden by a signal from about 800 miles away in the direction of the translator antenna.
