E-Skip from Spokane Last Night

[Safford]

Caught a few Spokane-area stations on the air here in Denver last night between about 6:30 and 7:00. They were

KAZZ 107.1 FM, Deer Park, WA
KATW 101.5 FM, Lewiston, ID

Summer's a great time for distance listening, though as our dial here in Denver gets more and more saturated, there will be less of an opportunity, save a complete signal override from an out of market station (which does happen).<P ID="signature">______________

Re: interference on KSPZ ( Was) E-Skip from Spokane Last Night

I wonder if that's why I heard a Country station interfering with KSPZ yesterday.<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by Chase11 on 06/01/05 07:24 PM.</FONT></P>

That is really cool! I never knew that on the FM band that you could actaully pick up another FM station so far away? How is that even possible to do? I mean all stations are very strong in power both day and night?
