I dunno.  I just can't bring myself to use an ultralight when the Es is in for FM DX.  Gotta milk the opening for every station you can and that usually means the top shelf radios.  I got in on the Es from yesterday and bagged 9 new stations from Oklahoma, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas, but I used the car radio since these things always happen when I'm at lunch.

Using an ultralight during a strong tropo opening might be more interesting since you aren't under the same time constraints as you are with short-lived Es.  You have to play around when the tropo is in, unlike when the Es is in.

Heard on Eton E-100 barefoot at Conimciut Point Park Warwick R,I. .

Opening Notes: Today was the big one. A massive tropo duct opened into the gulf coast. I found myself smack in the middle of it. The dial was peppered with stations UNIDED mentioning tennesee, Missisippi, the gulf coast including a weather report from the gulf coast. UNided on several freqs 94.7 107.5 ,105.7, 103.9 and a few others. uNFORTUNATLY  i was called to WORK and had to drop this massive seesion. i have at least one logged and possibly one or two more IDed but the notes need to be picked thru. The single complete logging below alone sets a new FM DX record. for me.
