Exciting stuff. I had just hooked up my new President Mckinley radio and got rewarded with my first skip contacts. Around 8 pm it was really strong.

Silver Bullet in Tennessee was loud and clear on Channel 28 and gave me a wave back. Also heard 603 out of Northern Vermont, and a bunch of other conversations on 17.

Finally died off about 1230 am. Never had evening skip before. 8 hours, still excited.

WOW, that is great. With my little rig, once I get it up, I'll be lucky to get across town.

I was using a President McKinley this weekend, talked to guys across the country on AM and SSB. If you have a good antenna and good conditions I think you will be surprised.

The skip the last couple of days is coming from the earth passing through space debris (they are saying meteor shower) left by Haley's Comet centuries ago, enjoy the skip while it lasts, it will be gone soon.

Guess it's gone now. Had some skip today on 6, 17, 38. Not as exciting as past couple days. Fun while it lasted.

Opened up again last night. Lots of action on 17 and 28. I could hear lots of folks very well, but no one gave me a wave back. Must be I don't have enough juice to get up and over all the noise when things are busy.

28 AM was hopping tonight, 38 LSB was dead.

On 28 I got a nice copy and wave from "Spark Plug" in Tampa FL, "Slow Poke" in Charleston, "Bad Apple" in Georgia, and a few others.

73's to everybody that took the time to shout back to to his little station up on the border.

Try it this afternoon. Cloudy and rainy here, I am getting skip on almost every channel. No luck getting anyone to copy back though...must be my barefoot radio can't get up over all the competing signals.
