Central Utah is hearing Canadian FM across the dial. i just received two independent and unsolicited contacts from radio/tech-savvy folks who are reporting the same thing within a 50-mile distance of each other!
Anyone else hear this happening?

Not ducting, its known as E-skip. Happens every summer.

Yeah....I was playing with the VHF antenna and TV Friday, and noticed it around 10-11 AM. I thought it looked more like some Sporadic-E Layer stuff. I had a pretty good signal off and on from a Channel 3 in Canada, which bounced off the restaurant across from me. I thought it was Mexico at first, since I was looking SSW, but heard a show intro, "Live from our studios in Toronto". Not sure what station it was, but I called the old Channel 2 that I saw once from Kitchener, and they said it might be Global TV Network. I didn't even think to try any FM. Maybe next time.

I had Canadian TV the other day too from Ontario, chances are that is where your Ch3 was from.

This is pretty interesting! Especially for how far away these places are.

Sporadic-E is kinda cool, but some long-term ducting really gets to be fun. I've had Canadian TV for hours at a time, in the past.
