wow its a great day for skipland. :compress: the morning of May 16. made contact with at least 20 stations all over the western and central states.
even the mobiles were makin it. nice to have an unlocked tuner as alot of stations can slide a little and get into a cleaner freq. works nice when so much yakkin going on.
there has been nonstop jabberin this whole morning. mudducks to dogwalkers. :cheers:
even heard some clown from Boise,,the 521, but i dont think it was the Bozo :clown:

Skip opened up for a while yesterday and last night, made several contacts. Turned the radio on first thing this morning and it's as quiet as a church mouse, not even the normal static, had to check the antenna to see if it was there.

I was listening scanning channels, channel 6 I heard some mumbling. It didn't sound normal so I switched to LSB, it was still not readable. When I switched to USB I heard a couple dudes talking in Japanese. I couldn't get them to respond. Sounded kind of militaryish.

That's because some of your neighbor's had my ears pinned down... :mrgreen:

Been like that all week on 28. Most of the time I can't understand what anyone is saying...I here "Jesse James down there in Dallas" then nothing but people all yacking at the sametime... "splatter City"
