NJN Radio in Philadelphia?

Hey all, now I don't really have the time to do serious DXing lately, but recently I discovered I was picking up NJN Radio on 88.1 (either from Trenton or Berlin). It wasn't fading in or out, it was steady, but of course sounding slightly distant. It's been coming in steady for the last few weeks. Now, I live in Philly, so usually 88.1's vacant, but since I moved my stereo antenna, it's been coming in. My question is, is it tropo or just a really good antenna? What's causing this? Bonus, I do get to sleep to the nightly WBGO simulcast.

Yeah, so I looked up both stations at Radio-Locator, and looked at their signal strength maps. Apparently, I'm grabbing the edge of the Trenton signal. How is this possible? It wasn't a month ago when it was just static from anywhere in my house, but suddenly it's coming in pretty well in my bedroom. Did I stumble upon a cool antenna trick or what?
