Just the other day I picked up WNMU 90.1 FM from Marquette, Michigan, in the Detroit area for a solid five or six minutes before it faded away. It was surprisingly clear; there must have been some crazy tropo-ducting...

Nice long haul tropo...with perhaps a little lake assistance.

High power and good antenna height helps a bit also:

This west coast nerd was a bit surprised to see that that northern location was a part of Michigan. May I ask what radio/tuner you used?
