strange pickup on 540 last night

[Kevin Vahey]

Last night while driving back from the Cape I hit the scan button on
AM around 10 PM and it stopped on 540 with a clear signal.

At the hour the ID was WFLA Tampa-Orlando-Tallahasse

HUH?

WFLA is on 970 out of Tampa

But a quick check on radio-locator shows me I was getting WFLF out of
the Orlando area but they call themselves 540 WFLA

In any event with their night pattern there was no way that signal
should be heard 1500 miles north

I am guessing they were on day pattern
