The weirdest FM reception I've encountered was crossing the San Rafael Swell in Utah. That's 108 miles of nothing. The radio locked onto a station from Michigan. Let's here it for tropospheric ducting. It didn't last long. I got into ham radio after sitting in the desert near Ajo AZ listening to KOMA out of Oklahoma City. In the '90s it was an oldies format which was good. In that part of the world 'I heard it on the X' was a reality since the Mexican stations lit up the sky. I was impressed how the announcer could get about 10 seconds of trill out of the 'r' in radio.
