Let's just talk skip... a great place to join the prestigious CB radio Hall of Fame.

Finally got some skip

Last sat and Sunday was crazy in Massachusetts skip from all over! I finally was able to get out to a couple of guys in Indiana. First experience with it haven’t had a radio since I’ve been a kid lots of fun. Only running a galaxy 949 with a Antron 99.

Ya, last Sunday night was a good one for 38 LSB. Couldn't spend much time monitoring it though since we had company for Mother's Day. I never tried to connect with anyone in the past since my radio is barefoot. Don't you really need an amp to boost up and reach the others though?

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
