Back in the old days about 25 years ago, where I live in Charlotte, North Carolina, I got local channels from Greensboro and Asheville and radio from Columbia SC.

Florence did a good job! The long distance reception can be snowy but sometimes they looked like a local. You needed some patience and tolerance for weak signals but it was fun when the stations would come in so strong it would tear apart the local signals. AHHH the good old days of analog tv!

I miss this. It was so exciting to see what and where was going to come in next. There is still FM though. A couple of years ago during an entire day in July I was listening to stations in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, and Mexico from Atlanta and they were coming in as clear as local. I captured hours it, but I doubt I could post it without it getting taken down or muted, they often jumped around during the songs.

My brother and I used to do this, when we were kids in Seattle, WA. But we never had a whole lot of luck. Only once did we ever pick up a long distance tv signal. It was a tv station out of Flagstaff, Arizona. It last about 2-3 minutes and it was gone..

I first learned to DX using a black and white television and adding wire to my rabbit ear antenna. those were the days. uhf stations at night, tuning around to see what i could pick up and from where. then came cable tv and ruined it all. reminds me of DIGITAL MODES in ham radio!

Where were these picked up from? My parents in Davis have a roof antenna with rotor, in the 80s I saw stations from Kansas, Canada and Mexico on channels 2 and 4, never saw any on 5. Channel 3 was local in Sacramento, you could see interference on that when this happened but the local station was too powerful to be overtaken.

James Greek Two natural phenomena allow for the rare reception of TV and FM radio signals at great distances. Troospheric refraction affects all TV channels and FM radio. Signals are usually relatively steady, but are usually not at extreme distance (100 miles common, 1000 miles rare). Sporadic-E skip is less common, but more spectacular. Most common in late spring and early summer, it allows for very strong signals from about 1,000 miles away (rarely more than 1,300 miles and rarely less than 800 miles). It only affects FM and TV stations that actually transmit on channels 2 to 6 (most stations known as Channel 2 to 6 are actually UHF stations).

I live in Green Bay, Wisconsin, I could get e-skips of WJMN-TV (CBS) 3, Marquette, Michigan (a semi-satellite of Green Bay's very own WFRV-TV (CBS) 5) and WJFW-TV (NBC) 12, Rhinelander, Wisconsin during rainy days. Due to the fact that it was in the digital TV age, the signals did not lock on very well, and the signals dropped out very quick after a few minutes.

Interesting, thank you for sharing... been also interested in long distance analogue tv, used to have an antenna mast to receive some swedish tv (SVT) over the Baltic Sea here in Finland in the 80's. Some memories of those times here: bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2125#msg2125 and here: bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2058#msg2058 (maybe google can translate some of it). Still trying to receive some DVB-T on UHF bbs.fmdx.tk/index.php?topic=519.msg2059#msg2059 but, those analogue times were so much more fun for DX-TV... 73s from Finland

Yes, but not all of the time. Thunderstorms can produce wind shear and that is related to E skip.
