When DX maps was really hopping with a 151 MUF at 4:28 PM, I was getting absolutely nothing. Later when DX Maps showed very little activity at 4:50 PM with a 98 MUF to the west about 1/2 way point to Texas and OK. It was then I received FM Skip. Just a reminder to always check your radio even when the skip on DX Maps looks weak and unimportant. If anyone need some screen shots from today, let me know.
Location is KY, near Cincinnati
