CB Radio Talk

Last month I installed my antenna, an antron a99. I insulated the base of the antenna with a piece of rubber. After getting some advice from some CBRT regulars, I took down the antenna and removed the insulator and installed some makeshift radials. Today skip seemed to be better than it has been for a while. Didn't get a confirmed contact but I'll keep trying. My new Palomar 225 was really trying to get some attention.

Nice good for you !! it has been a very quiet day all day here in southern cal

Skip quiet here as well. Now a major snow storm..BUT, I'll be listening in Central Wyoming.

quiet here right now. i always give a random shout out for skipland when ever cause you never know what conditions are going to let you do.
keep keying down guys!!!!!

Skip has seemed to slow down some, at least when I get home from work. What little bit there has been, is being covered up by several local radio enthusiasts who have been fighting with each other, non-stop, for the past year and a half.

You can find some information about the Solar Cycle on the internet, (try [Please login or register to view this link] ) this cycle is coming to a close which is the reason skip is so sporadic, by the end of 2017 it will probably be non existent with a few meteor (space junk causes this too) scatters happening. Enjoy it while you can the next big peak won't be until 2022 to 2025 (predicted).

2022 to 2025? Geez, that's a bummer!

Non existent? What how are we going to pass the time?
One more post I'll be at 100
