The station was playing Daughtry-No No Surprise. I was like on we have a new station here in GB. The song got over and they said this is Tide 94.5. I looked it up on the internet on my phone and it was from Myrtle Beach SC! I then flipped the radio dial to see if any more distant stations were coming in. Sure enough there was a station 94.1 the Beat, Savannahs Number 1 hit music station. I couldn't believe this! I emailed both the stations to let them know I heard them on my car radio up here. I never knew FM stations could travel that far! AM this would be no big deal but FM it was great!
It's true the different frequencies do travel better in different terrains but distance is more so an effect of the stations effective radiated power along with field strength and antenna height and build..
