talking skip


Actually thebest time to talk skip is when skip is running. No skip present? Can't talk it. Skip present....talk skip.
 
When is the best time to talk skip

I assume by "skip" you mean 11 meters.

Since there are no sunspots to speak of at this time, the alternative is "E" skip.
Best time for e-skip is early evening. Sometimes in the morning too.
Its cause by thunderstorms which extend to high altitudes, which causes the E-layer to become ionized when the sun hits it just right.

The distance is not coast-to-coast, but instead about half that distance because the E-layer is not as high as the F-layer. F-layer only runs when there are sunspots.

This all pertains to 11 meters.
