When was this? I didn't hear any skip in the Buckeye today, let alone the last 3 weeks!

Nice watergate 220. What are you recording with? I really like how the audio sounded...very authentic. I didn't recognize that buckeye radio's numbers 113, untill I listened to it again. I used to talk local radio out here alot with 113. He mentioned his handle in your watergate, and I was pysched to hear him in there. We all know him aas Big Mounth around here. I hope I catch him on the radio to let him know he made the "big time" haha.

To be honest, I can't remember when I recorded these, or a couple more here. I found this tape while cleaning out my (radio) closet and thought I'd post a couple since some of the new members were asking what skip was and what it sounded like...

How are you recording these gates? Yours sound awesome compared to other ones I've heard.

The tape recorder is an old Rat Shack Micro-51 (that's what I found the tape in) micro cassette. If I remember correctly I used an 1/8" plug patch cable from the AUX jack of the 2000gtl to the MIC jack on the recorder.

LOL...yep - "they call me Big Mouth"...

Hopefully with the sun spots on the rise we'll get better conditions soon. I still have the 2000gtl and the Palomar 300a, but I've added a few more "goodies" to the shack since then so I'm just waitin' on Mother Nature...
