Calling all DX'ers

Living in beautiful Florida we get to hear so many great radio stations. What's your best DX? Mine was stuff from Kansas City a few months back. I like the stuff from up north and out west as opposed to the south and Caribbean. Got something from Houston Texas once, that's as far as I heard.

How did you do?
 
I do not live in ORL, but we go from Broward Co, to Ocala about 3x a year via US 27.

Last year I got E-skip on my car radio on 92.7 out of Nebraska, a C&W station which turned out to be KUSO. This was around Clermont. Neb. is very rare from the peninsula, and if I had my DTV box & outdoor antenna set up, I woulda given a try for KNOP DT 2 North Platte. It would have been worth the entrance price to Lake Louisa Park (a hi elevation for FL).

2 years ago I caught WEII/Dennis, MA (Cape Cod) in Ocala on SR200.
 
Early 80s, caught 580 WLES in Southeaster MI as CKWW made pattern change and was a little long. Heard CKWW dump, and then heard "right here on 580, WLES", and then CKWW came back on night pattern. Yep. Counted it.
 
I have always gone with miles per watt ratios.
A Long Island, NY graveyard AM received from Miami Beach when it was still 250 watts (thanks, CD), and a Miami FM to Gainesville when it was 35 watts. These things become less likely as more stations come on the air. I particularly like things like precisely positioning an AM radio to null a local station and actually ID a much more distant one on the same frequency: WFIL, WIP, WOR within the 25mv/m contours of WQAM, WIOD, WAQI (then WGBS).
