What a night of tropo! I had to knock off at 100 because I had to work today, but by then, the dial seemed to be filling in with closer-in stations. The most amazing part is after almost thirty years of having never been able to get around WRIF, this year it's happened thrice! Also, knocking TWO off my Most Wanted List (WPXN was there since 2002, WGCY since 1998!) was a nice thing. This definitely tips the meter toward 2022 being a good DX season!
