Conditions toward the end of August 2025 through September provided two of the best tropo events I’ve seen in many, many years. Usually the coastal DXers in Massachusetts get tropo this good, but these two tropo events went well inland, to my delight. The better of the two evens was the September 22 tropo which pushed its way down to Jacksonville and Wilmington, NC.
The best catches of the 8/16 event were WRSF 105.7 Columbia, NC (466mi.) and WERO 93.3 Washington , NC (527mi.)
The farthest received on 9/22 were WKJX 96.7 Elizabeth City, NC (438mi.), WRMR 98.7 Jacksonville, NC (583mi.), WSFL 106.5 New Bern, NC (548mi.) and the best was WGNI 102.7 in Wilmington, NC, (626mi.) because as luck would have it, WDRC 102.9 in Hartford had is HD off the air at that time.
Many Norfolk area stations were also heard at both events. These are about 400 miles.
The graphics you see above were taken at the WTFDA’s logger at wlogger.wtfda.org which just had a major upgrade allowing us to plot these catches on a map and download a .csv file of all of them.
Let’s hope for more tropo like this. This is about the best it gets here in inland New England.
