Some DX'ing on FM tonight

Here in Bettendorf, Iowa tonight flipping through FM on a receiver I have. Obviously am able to pick up everything in the Quad Cities, IA/IL market, also pick up a couple from Iowa City/Cedar Rapids, IA and then some faint stuff from around the region. Tonight was able to pull in some from far away, and a few sounded oddly clear like they were local stations; was so surprised I started taking video on my iPhone so I could listen back to the imaging and figure out where each is from, remember and post on here. So even here from the most Eastern part of Iowa on the border with Illinois, here are some of a few I was able to pick up from out of market (Quad Cities).

99.5 WCOY-FM from Quincy, Illinois - almost a 3 hour drive from here
99.9 KAUS-FM from Austin, Minnesota - 4 hour drive from here
104.1 KMYR-FM from Ames, Iowa (Des Moines market) - 3 hour drive
104.5 WFMB-FM from Springfield, IL - 3 hour drive
106.9 KROC-FM from Rochester, MN - 4 hour 15 min drive

I was also easily picking up stuff from Waterloo/Cedar Falls, IA market, easily getting stuff from Cedar Rapids, IA stuff. Ottumwa, IA and Macomb, IL - both a bit of a drive - also had some clear ones come in.
