nighthawk....
Yes, when you get those tropo duct openings, interesting things happen.
When I lived in Michigan, there was a distant two meter repeater on the same frequency as our local one, but it had the transmit and receive frequencies inverted. When we got a little tropo going, the howling of the feedback loop was kind of amazing.
Sadly, the days of monitoring channel 2 to catch ionospheric openings on 6 meters are gone. As are most of our sunspots and exciting propagation. Hope we don't slide into a long term solar minimum.
