The terrain in that area does weird things with signals. I clearly recall on two separate occasions being in a motel room in Crafton, PA which is in the Pittsburgh area and being able to receive Youngstown stations. This was around Thanksgiving. I often travel with a small 19" TV and a 4 bay antenna to use rather than the cable offerings in the motels. Get more local signals that way and a better picture. In any event, it was definitely not skip since it happened during two different trips a year apart and not during skip season. I checked the TV Fool report for that motel's location and there is no way any signal from Youngstown should have been received there. All were Tropo and had a NM well below zero.

Yea that's definitely crazy! I'm just happy I'm able to get WTRF7 (ABC, CBS, etc) and WTOV9 (NBC, FOX, etc) now and especially off of just 1 antenna. Now I'm able to send the other antenna I have back, which essentially cut my roof-install costs in half. Plus I can watch all the good shows on NBC and FOX now too!
