When I go up to Franklin especially last year and into Sussex itself when I switch on 92.3 to listen to Now FM, I get static usually but a few times I got Country station from Virginia I thought that was nuts! But then it faded once I hit Rt. 23 into Vernon & West Milford and Now came back in full and clear again.

Getting stations from other places not close by

There was e-skip today. I got stations from the Midwest.
I was in fact listening to 92.3 around noon and heard country instead of rhythmic CHR. It was coming in with no trace of 92.3 Now. It turned out to be 92.3 WIL from St Louis, Missouri. Then I tuned around the dial and heard a lot more skip.

During tropo here in Schenectady, I've often caught Utica, Poughkeepsie and Syracuse stations (sometimes Binghamton, Rutland VT or NYC as well... but much more rarely) 
It's too bad I missed out on yesterday's E-skip though...

Virginia to North Jersey is a fairly common skip using tropo-scatter. When I lived in Monmouth county, I'd regularly pull in stations from Washington, Norfolk, Baltimore, Hartford, and the Delmarva peninsula. With e-skip (somewhat rarer) you can sometimes pick up FM signals from 1500-2000 miles away. Now living in NE Ohio, I've logged tropo from stations in Detroit, Buffalo, Indy, and Pittsburgh. Via e-skip I've received stations in Georgia, S. Dakota, and Wyoming.
