Comments: Without a doubt this was a historic opening and it will be interesting to hear what others have recieved. I nearly fell out of my chair
when I heard Sioux City Iowa and thought with out a doubt that was my farthest tropo opening..ever...Until of course I heard Topeka freaking Kansas
in less than a hour later! The icing on the cake was Milwaukee, and they were the only Milwaukee on the dial,there wasn't even a hint of Chicago.
Remember, that I don't even have an FM antenna. It's just using some VHF/UHF PVC antenna I bought 20 years ago
and yet I still did very good. The Goozeezoo branded TEF 6866 Radio performed first rate through this opening. Congratulations to everyone who got
in on this historic opening!
