Heard motor mouth maul channel 6 am all afternoon. Loud as heck today. He couldn't hear me tho. He was gates playing with Washington state Idaho and Oregon. Some chatter on 38 LSB but it was very distant. Maybe tonight LSB will be rolling. Keep your ears on this evening. I'll be yelling out 223 Alaska.

You know whats funny, now that you mentioned it, there actually is a guy on 28 when the skip is rolling and he always sounds drunk to me.. Seriously, could this be the guy you are talking about? You can hardly understand him, and he is definetly running power because his signal is always strong..

Sounds good.. LOL! It was just funny you mentioned that, because I hear the same guy quite often on channel 28 and he always sounds smashed..
