FM 97.5

The case of hearing stations hundreds of miles away is tropospheric ducting. My case of hearing Waco's KWTX was not tropospheric ducting, just a temporary atmospheric anomaly.
I'm not sure where you think the distinction lies here. The "temporary atmospheric anomaly" that brought KWTX screaming into Houston is tropo ducting, just at a shorter distance. Some DXers refer to this as "tropo enhancement," but it's the same mechanism either way.
 
My record is catching Z104 Norfolk, VA in Houston. This was in 2001 or 2002, I believe. Only heard it for about 3-5 minutes. Same day I caught what is now KENZ-FM Salt Lake City. Craziest e-skip I've ever witnessed.

I wanted to come here and show off that I once caught KXTC out of Gallup, NM here in Houston. But now that I read everyone else's catches, mine seems so insignificant.
