E-Skip Today!!

Was getting some fuzz earlier in the morning and I knew it would come on!

I was just outside Manchester, CT and I picked up KZRV, St. Cloud, Minnesota on 96.7fm clear as a bell. 1:57pm and I picked up the legal ID. I love E-skip!
 
Around 1 PM (Eastern), I received KMBZ-FM 98.1 from Kansas City, KWBZ-FM 107.5 from Monroe, MO (Hannibal, MO area) and a KISS 107.5 FM which may have been from Des Moines, IA.

Wow, two stations on 92.1 within eight minutes?

That's very typical with E Skip, you can have 2 or more stations in and out with each other quite often when the skip really gets rolling.

Wow! In Arkansas, they're still playing Vanilla Ice, and in Kansas, they're still playing the Oak Ridge Boys! Think maybe there was a time warp to go along with that skip opening? ;D

It was a very broad opening yesterday. 3-4 stations were on a channel mixing at the same time. Very tough to get IDs after it moved into the midwest out of the deep south.
 
During lunch yesterday, I had it on 94.5 to hear what WERB was doing. Several times a station IDing as Clear 94 with country music came up over WERB. It must have been the Poplar Bluffs, MO station previously mentioned.
 
I noticed it when I checked my usually weak reception of WYBC-FM 94.3 of New Haven. A station was mixing in with it and I thought it was simply the 94.3 station somewhere on Long Island, NY...until I heard an ad give an area code I knew wasn't from there.
