Even if you don't have your ham licence, you can still use #Tropo to listen to VHF/FM #radio stations many hundreds of km away from your location (this weekend I heard many from Netherlands, Germany and even a community station from Northern England (330 km away from me!)

Quite a bit of #tropo on #VHF - this is received in my car parked outside my office in Mid Suffolk (so 30 km away from the coast), and still the radiosignal from #Televisietoren #Goes #Zeeland gets through!

If you have an FM-DX Webserver running based on a #TEF6686 radio (although it now supports some Si4732 radios too, particularly ATS-Mini), there's now a plugin showing #Tropo forecasts for your area ⛅ and it's a model built from scratch, not a copy of Hepburn maps! github.com/Highpoint200... #fmdx

Because G7IZU appears to have missed this... WE GOT A G3 GEOMAGNETIC STORM❗❗❗❗❗❗❗🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️🌩️ Planetary K-index peaked 6.67 in the 03-06z period today. This didn't trigger any #aurora #FMDX logs in FMLIST, prob. due to #tropo, esp. across CZE & GER...

Well that was an absolute blast. Played radio with @DafyddJack from some high ground in north east Wales this afternoon. Worked Germany (multiple times), The Netherlands and France on #2m #SSB, 30-50w TX power and a 3 element SOTAbeam.
Before today neither of us had worked mainland Europe on 2m. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #vhf #vhfdx #dx #tropo
