During the 6pm hour, thanks to what I assume was E-skip, I was able to pick up a few distant stations. The only one I was able to identify was oldies-formatted WTIX 94.3 from Galliano, Louisiana. This is not surprising - it seems like every time there's e-skip in this area, the listenable stations are from that part of the country.
I think I was also receiving something on 99.1, but it faded out before I could identify it. Searching radio-locator.com for 99.1's in Louisiana, there's only one: KXKC in New Iberia. Maybe that's what I heard (but I'm guessing that only because 94.3 is also in Louisiana.)
I first noticed it while listening to 92.7 - the audio kept switching between K224CJ and some other station. I didn't stay tuned long enough to try & figure out what the other station might have been - I figured I'd have better luck scanning the dial and checking open frequencies.
What causes e-skip, anyway? And since I was able to hear a Louisiana station, does it mean that people in Louisiana might have been able to pick up Phoenix stations?
