Have you read the Signal Analysis FAQ? It will tell you what you need to know. Assuming you have read that, then you would know that chasing a station with a NM at your location of nearly -12 dB via a troposhperic scatter path is going to be very hard. Reliable reception, meaning having spare signal strength to protect against all sorts of signal fading, requires +10 dB NM. You would need an antenna with 22 dB gain (amplifiers DO NOT COUNT in this - they zero out cable losses) and that is not possible.
You will see WBNS on occasion with the typical fringe-area antenna. You just won't be sure when.
