(meteorobs) I'm new on the list.... help requested

Raydel - You can look towards Mexico for TV channels 2,3,4,5,and 6; they are still are using NTSC format (non-digital) and should be okay for you distance wise.
If you can go higher than 100 MHz with your Rx, I'd recommend NAVSPASUR at 216.98 MHz. Point your antenna towards Kickapoo, Texas (approx 28° 37'N 100° 26' W). I just use a three element Yagi and get good forward scatter here in Arizona; you are probably the same distance away as well. 

Regards
Bob
