Good day for skip today.

Let's just talk skip... a great place to join the prestigious CB radio Hall of Fame.

Any day is a good day if I can get across the street, I enjoy the shots to the UK in the morning on 38 and 39LSB. Tried a few on 35AM too.

I guess I need to start hanging on 38lsb. But I am enjoying the skip on Channel 6, 11, 15, 26 and 28 -- Hawaii, Australia, Barbados and Bahamas. I plan to start hanging on 38lsb soon.

Skip's been rolling in from all over but it's been turbulent. One minute it's Texas or Louisiana and the next it's Minnesota and Illinois. Made a couple of barefoot contacts on 37 though.
Earlier in the week it was wide open coast to coast. No way I could break through all the QRM on my barefoot little rig. In the afternoon I'd get the West Coast. A couple of hours later Hawaii. Then about the time the sun would start to set I'd hear New Zealand and Australia.
Last couple of nights after dark it was all North South. New York and Connecticut paired with Florida and the Caribbean.
I have an Antron 9 feet over the roof line but my next project is to hang a vertical dipole 60 feet at its apex.

Like you it has been coming pretty much the same directions, even had short skip from Chicago which is rare for me at least. Even heard some traffic in SE part of my state that I normally don't hear.

:bounce: So strange, just tried locals and 21,23,28 were hammered from midwest. Last night I found chatter to my state like previous post TwettyBird mentioned, and the other state was so loud. Skip is so funny, sounds like they are in the driveway. :cheers:
