FM E-skip alert in the east 6-23-13

B

Buckeyes2001

Maps are showing 2 different 97+ MHz clouds, one over Kentucky and another over west-central Indiana. Anyone getting anything from these? I was getting a Christian Contemporary station fading in and out on 91.5 over WKHR that I suspect may be from this. It was rather inconsistent.
 
I'm not far from you in akron, and I'm getting some random stuff too... I ID'd 89.1 from Forest Mississippi (Moody Radio), some religious talk on 88.5 fading in and out, and something on 88.9 as well.

From looking at the map today, it looks like the estimated sporadic-E MUF is continually popping up well into the FM band. As I look at the map right now, there is a spot showing 149 MHZ in northeast Mississippi. There is a lot around Kentucky. I'm not home now, but I think I'll do an FM scan later.
 
I suspect that the 91.5 I was getting earlier this afternoon may have been WLRK from Greenville, MS seeing as how the skip was all coming from that general direction and I was hearing a Christian Contemporary station there.
