93.7: KAZY Cheyenne, WY Relog of this station. Rock music. 967 miles away.

101.9: KIGN Burns, WY: Relog of this station. So clear it was heard without the whip attached! 988 miles.
103.3: unID with old music, national news, Desparado "The Eagles", etc.
96.9: talk
91.1: KLDV Morrison, CO? Christian music.
91.1: unID with classical music

And at about the same time, I got 93.7 CJJR-FM Vancouver from SW Wyoming - the only station I got via eskip on that day. But it was loud and clear and I got a positive ID. So, I guess it does go both ways!

No FM skip here in the East (Poughkeepsie, NY) since 7/22, but I have previously logged KLIQ, at 1296 miles from here. Kind of cool that this station has pretty much made it from coast to coast!
 
I still don't know about the 96.9 station. KWAX, KUSC or Iowa is my only possiblities for 91.1 FM. (classical)

Found out that KMCX might be the 106.5. KMCX is from Ogallalla, NE, 1113 miles away. Only heard what sounded like either commercials or national news for about 10 seconds, enough to cover semi-local KWPZ Lynden.

102.1 might be KPNY Alliance, NE. 1007 miles.

There was some strong E-Skip in the Nashville area on 7/28 around 4 p.m. CT. I was listening to 97.1 WRQQ but I heard some interference, so I shifted down to 96.9 and heard a fight between 96.9 WYMY "La Ley" (Goldsboro, NC) and 96.9 KMCM-FM "97 Gold" (Odessa, TX), which were both coming in loud and clear on my car radio.
 
Wow, e-skip to the next state is very impressive! The distance was around 550 miles.
Texas is big enough that there could be e-skip within the state. Same thing for California.
 
Long time coming, but here's an update

I think the 103.3 is KJLS Hays, KS. 1300 miles. My (possibly) first Kansas logging!!

In the FM DX thread, I posted that I'd picked up KFMM 99.1 out of Thatcher, AZ. I just checked the distance of that e-skip, from the transmitter to the general area where I caught it. Looks like it was about 1337 miles.
