[AF] 1350-mile FM DX

[Alan Alsobrook]

Must be something about the Dallas Fort Worth area that makes it a good 
launching point for DX signals. My experience was when I was about 4 
miles out from 94.1 in St. Augustine and happened to see lightning hit 
the tower, as it did the song changed. I figured the automation had been 
upset by the strike, that was until the break came and they started 
talking about the twin cities weather. Listing longer I ID'd it easily 
as 94.1 from DFW. The bad part was it was coming in so strong that I 
didn't hear any difference from the local carrier when it dropped. It's 
about 950 miles from here to DFW.
