Heard the following:

WAPE 95.1 over local WKSJ's IBOC noise
WGNE 99.9 FM weak but ID'd under our local Mobile, AL station
Unknown - 103.7 - country "Gator Country"

More to come :)

On a side note, I've been hearing a trend, a lot of stations tend to block even local stations, take for example 99.9 covering local WMXC (mobile is about a 2 hour drive)

My receiver is a grundig satellit 750 and a portable Sangeon which has a great AM tuner (ATS 505) while on the road, I did a scan and heard what sounded like GA coming in. I live in Ft Walton Beach, FL and it's home to quite a few 100KW sticks.

It's nice to hear radio that's not local because radio here.. has gotten bland
(no oldies station)

Well, at least you can enjoy FM DX. In Atlanta, CheapChannel and the Cloud Company pollute every available FM channel with their move-in translators (thanks the famous Radio Assist Ministry turds), filling our dial with more useless corporate dribble and blocking out some good tropo.

Every now and then some good tropo is strong enough to overcome these FM toilet bowls that fill this market with corporate sewage.

I envy those of you who can still get good FM DX.

Just FYI, 103.7 Gator Country is a 100,000watt station out of Gainesville, FL. Its local to me, being roughly 20 miles from me by air. Hope this helps a little.
