Spain FM Dxed into the Carolinas in 2005

[Mid West Clubber]

Im not sure if this holds the record, im sure better and farther has been done, but me and my EX Crack Head girlfriend had an argument, and I went out to the car about 100 feet from the Ocean.... I had an old JVC CD Player,,, CD player didnt work and it really wasnt a very sensitive radio,, but it had an international tuner that could tune to frequencies like 100.0,,,, and it also had RDS, which usually did not work... But anyway, tuning through the dial and stopped on 99.1 was Dance Music playing,, i thought it was a pirate at first, but then the RDS starting to blink on and Revealed Loca FM, which is from Madrid Spain... Farther up the dial on 100.0 revealed an extremely strong station, no static and the RDS was solidly reading Candena, or Cadena FM, also in Spain, with I think an AC format if memory serves me right... To this day no one believes me,, Id like to find out if there is any way to find out how much Power these two stations where throwing out, and how far Myrtle Beach South Carolina is from Madrid????

That would be a helluva catch if it happened, but without a time machine you'll never know for sure.

These are the 2 stations you mentioned on the fmscan.org website:

http://www.fmscan.org/net.php?r=f&m=s&itu=E&pxf=Loca+FM&rg=mad 20kW
http://www.fmscan.org/net.php?r=f&m=s&itu=E&pxf=Cadena+100&rg=mad 100kW (list says 99.5 not 100.0)

World Radio TV Handbook 2008 shows a Cadena FM at 100.0 but it's in Barcelona and runs 8kW.
