Houston FM DX in Cape Coral

[xiradiodotcom]

I was in Cape Coral in the Wal-Mart parking lot on August 27 and picked up KBXX 97.9 from Houston. I was in a rental Buick LeSabre using the stock stereo. I listened for a good 5 minutes before losing it to fade. What I find impressive is that adjacent WTLQ on 97.7 did not blast it out. Maybe it was the hurricane causing some atmospheric craziness, just thought I'd share.<P ID="signature">______________

Hurricanes can (and usally do) cause a lot of tropospheric ducting.

Too far for tropo... you were hearing Sporadic E skip... congrats

Sea path on a day with a huge refractive index from the large
hurricane and it's not too far for tropo. Es is also likely...
