@ iacd : Opposite side of the same coin .....
Quite often, up near JFK Airport in Queens NYC, we'd get Philly-area FM stations. One night local WCBS-FM 101.1 was off. In came what was then WDVR. They're now WBEB.
One marvelous night, on a mere car radio parked in a train station (and it was a mere car) I was getting every Philly FM station out in Laurelton Queens. Every single one except for WIFI 92. They're now the Country station.
WMMR was on there, 93.3. So was WYSP 94.1, WWSH 106.1, and so on.
As radioman suggests: You were probably undergoing trope.
