I caught 104.7 WZZK out of Birmingham,Alabama from Chatsworth,Georgia. It's been a few years since I've been able to catch an FM station out of Birmingham from home.

That catch is more likely to be courtesy of tropospheric ducting. E-skip, which occurs higher in the atmosphere, tends to bring stations in that are more than 850 miles distant. An e-skip event will bring stations from Missouri or Arkansas into New Hampshire or signals from Florida into New York or Ohio.

The good thing about it is that tropo events tend to last longer and to be more stable than e-skip, which can have stations come and go so quickly that it's often hard to get an ID.
