Are you talking amateur radio type or other

Thanks for links. Several look useful. I'm trying to receive HDTV from transmitters 110 miles away. So atmospheric scatter seems like the only way. Looking for info on antennas, tuners, propagation, etc.

This may sound daft, But with a high gain system it may be possible to get some signals from scatter of the ionosphere or even the moon

there is a communication method that uses eme earth moon earth

Yes, I've read of ionospheric scatter, and have heard of a gent in the UK with a 12ft (4m) dish who can get signals bounced off the moon!

Thanks for the UK links, they have some good info that I didn't find when I searched from the colonies.

colonies

re the links i am getting very good at finding obscure links

hope it all helps.

I havent tried tv dxing, Let me know how you get on,

ps you want to get a detailed map of the area you wish to get signals from, and

see if the are any large structures about half way between you and tx site you may be able to receive scatter from this structure just a thought

you may of already found these

May I ask why you want to do this?

If its because you want to learn more about Hobby electronics in this area then its a worthy reason, but if its just to receive TV, then surely sat TV will be cheaper and far far easier......

Why climb mountains? Dumb question, nobody in their right mind would do that.

I want to see if I can do it. And there are some cute weather girls on the Dallas stations. The site tvfool.com says it is theoretically possible via tropo scatter. Now I may need a 10ft dish or two, and a roomful of equipment, but pushing the envelope will add to my skills and knowledge, and that is the most fun of all for an engineer. Right?
