Consider..... Could have been simple line of sight. Just how close to
Binghamton were you? If you were anywhere close, southeast, then you were
about 260 or 270NM from the A/C airport. You were at 8000, so roughly 105
to the horizon. Another aircraft at 8 or 10,000, located southeast of
Meadville PA and trying to call Akron could have been in a position such
that you and Akron could BOTH have heard him. Unusual coincidence, but
possible.

Last night while flying from Teterboro, New Jersey up to Ithaca, NY, I was
talking to Bingamton approach (located in south central NY state) and
cruising at 8,000 ft.
