I took these videos around 3:30 PM CDT on 6/14/16(yesterday). These were likely Mexican stations coming in in Florence, AL on the FM dial.

Mexican FM stations received in Florence, AL continued.
Note that I had to take these videos in parts so they would be small enough to send over the internet. One part I made(90.1 Part 5) was too big to post.
90.1 parts 1 and 3 will play but for some reason the other videos will not play. I will try reposting them, one at a time.
Looks like for some reason the other videos won't work, but 90.1 Parts 1 and 3 should give you an idea of what I received.
Weird, all of the videos work for me using Google Chrome, but only 2 work using Internet Explorer.
Looks like 90.1 was XHQW out of Merida, MX. About 960 miles from Florence, AL.
Sporadic E propagation. Its when dense ionization in the ionosphere 56 to 93 miles above the earth can reflect radio waves thousands of miles from their original source. Usually you need sensitive equipment to pick it up but occasionally it's strong enough that typical radios can pick them up.
I remember when I was a kid in the 80s picking up a station from El Paso, Texas occasionally during this time of year. That was with a mono magnavox boombox. It's kind of cool how weather and heat can affect radio waves.
Back in the mid 70's to early 80's, we lived on top of a hill in the Stony Point area outside of Florence, and had a tall tower style TV antenna. During odd weather we would sometimes pick up snowy Spanish speaking TV stations.
Looks like 90.7 was XHQOO out of Cancun, MX, around 940-945 miles from Florence, AL.
