Nova scotia here!! I want to know what I need to "skip" and talk to all you fellers!

[5H Outlaw]

All you need are the right conditions, talk all over the world bare-foot if the skip cycle (solar flare activity) is right. Good time to be into cbs', as it's starting to cycle again. Gonna be smokin'.

base or mobile ?

base cobra 2000 gtl with a East Coast base amp 1x4
with maco 5/8
would be a nice setup

Technically as long as the conditions are right, you can shoot skip with anything; but when it's rolling' the more power you have the better.

Here's some suggestions of what a good skip setup would be:

Base on the cheap:
2950DX on Power Supply
Palomar Super Base 500 Base amp
A-99

More Expensive Base Setup:
Astatic Silver Eagle
RCI 2985DX
East Coast 2x4 Base Amp
Coily Enforcer .64 wave base antenna
OR
Signal Engineering 4 element Cubical Quad on rotor

Mobile AM Skip Setup:
General Lee
RK-56
East Coast 2x4
Predator 10k

Mobile SSB Skip Setup:
RCI-2950DX
Texas Star DX-1600V
Predator 10k

It really all depends on how much money you have. Hope to hear you out there in dx land!
