Interesting!
That means you were getting skip off of the same patch of E clouds that I was!
I checked the DX Sherlock site and there was an MUF of 104 Mhz over western Tennessee. Then I anxiously ran to get my radio and start listening on empty frequencies.
One thing of note I noticed is that I was hearing KKRL from Carroll, Iowa long after the MUF of that E cloud fell far below the range of the FM band.
There was also some country station on 93.7 that would take over KKRL at times but I never got the full ID. I did get that it started with as K anyway.
I'm in Gaffney, SC. I just logged some E-Skip stations I was getting from the central US.
Today was a great E-Skip day!
92.9 KMXN "The Bull" (805 Miles - Lawrence / Topeka / Osage City, Kansas) **Class C2 station at 42000 watts**
92.9 KKIA "The Moose" (890 Miles - Ida Grove / Sac City / Storm Lake, Iowa) **Class C3 station at 25000 watts**
98.5 KQKQ "Q98.5" (890 Miles - Omaha, Nebraska) **Class C station at 100000 watts**
93.1 KRVN "The River" (1,060 Miles - Lexington / Kearney, Nebraska) **Class C1 station at 100000 watts**
92.7 KBRB (1,100 Miles - Ainsworth, Nebraska) - **Class A station at only 2600 watts!!**

Not high enough....20s & 30s are good for shortwave/CB, but to get channel 2 and up, you want 54+. I just looked....I think you'll be active!
BTW on that site, click "50 MHz," and follow the red lines! Here in the east, we are just getting done with a wild day.

Wow, nice catch from WA Crain
Nothing here in Vallejo, CA
Nothing here in Vallejo, CA
Here in Concord,California I heard a Spanish Station at 90.9, it even overpowered KXJZ for a short time! Anyone have any idea what I heard?
Could be KGZO from Shafter, CA or KHDC from Chualar, CA
I don't think there was an E in the Bay Area
