During sunspot maximum 1990-1992 Japanese FM stations were heard in Netherlands. I talked to one Dutch ham who did it. He has cassette recording somewhere if he only remembered where. (I know the feeling.)

Japanese FM naturally is 76-90 Mhz, making it somewhat "easier".

Finnish records on western FM are China and India heard by Markku Sollo.

On a SDR in France, recently heard was a station in Eastern Turkey, close to the Syrian border.  Just short of 3000km, double hop Sporadic-E

87.5 Pal Nostalji.  SDR displayed PI code and 'NOSTALJI'.  I have a screenshot !

This morning, picked up WGN on 87.7 on the car stereo. Decent signal, ranging from in the noise to full quieting, with the avg signal being somewhere in between.
