I've experienced amazing skip before,

One day driving home from work, I had an extremely hard time receiving any local stations due to interference from distant stations, but had no problem receiving WQOL 103.7 FM from Vero Beach, FL. No static whatsoever despite moving at 55mph down US167.

On the day of the DTV changeover, as alot of stations here in AR and over in TN switched over, I was able to receive WUND-2 from Edenton NC, and later on, KDKA and WTAE from Pittsburgh, PA. KDKA came in clear enough for a good amount of time that day, for me to watch part of a soap opera along with some message on the bottom about the DTV transition.

I had that happen to me just north of the Arkansas border a few months ago - for a few minutes I got a station at 104.7 from Hollywood, FL, then a few minutes later it changed to a station from north Florida - drowning out the 104.7 I was trying to listen to that's about 70 miles from where I was.
