Mid-January brought an AMAZING tropo opening that allowed long distance signals to come in for about three days! This was Day One of my adventure receiving TV stations from Chicago, IL / Decatur, IL / Cleveland, OH and Detroit, MI on Jan. 15, 2010 from my home in Markham, Ontario, Canada. Chicago's WMAQ popped up off and on through much of the night (and is a lofty 446.25 miles away from me!) I also picked up Chicago's WPWR, and Decatur, IL's WBUI (Which is 542 miles away!) I also saw more familiar reception from Cleveland's WEWS and Detroit's WMYD. Distances provided are approximate.
