Ok, I haven't been on in a while, and I know this is kind of off the regular topics, but I had to share. It's been like this for days and there are some of us who like to see what 'skip' brings in. 
Well, tonight I was scanning the dial while in my car. Not only did I notice some of the local stations to be weak (typically during tropo), but every frequency on FM had a station playing on it. Ahh, you gotta love these balmy, humid nights!
What I found particularly interesting was listening to 95.1 WAPE (Jacksonville, FL), parked in my driveway in Harvey!!! I mean they were coming in like a local or rimshot! I heard them say "95.1 WAPE Jacksonville's #1 Hit Music Station" and thought 'no way.' Can't be Florida because there's a 95.1 in Natchez, MS called 95 Country, and that's closer than FL. Apparently, the troposphere doesn't discriminate. I don't remember all the ones I came across, but this one stood out because it was the second time I've gotten east Florida here on the westbank. Last summer sometime, I was hearing "93.3 FLZ" out of Tampa when Q-93 went off the air late one evening. Usually, the only Florida stations I pick up here is Pensacola, Ft. Walton-Destin, or Panama City. That's it!
Then just last night, I thought Citadel BR flipped Sunny 103.3 to a hispanic format. It was all spanish! I don't know where the heck that was from. Never could identify the station due to my Spanish being very rusty. : ;D
Thoughts, comments?
