Hi all

We had a VHF tropo spike last night to Scott City KS and Smith Center  
KS on the Rocky Mountain VHF+ Net (144.220) http://www.rmvhf.org/   
Signals 5/7 to 5/9. Today was close to inversion quality, temps in the  
50's, humidity at 85% and better with fog that didn't burn off until  
2200 UTC.. just food for thought
