Skip must be officially dead. The only racket I'm hearing is power lines when I ride by. Even the noise floor is crazy low, hell I thought something was wrong with my setup, went to 19 and a driver about scared me to death because I had the volume so loud trying to pick up some noise.

Ch 6 buzzing in on the scanner (lock out).

19 deader’n a doornail on one of the nations highest volume Interstates.

Might be a holiday.

But it’s obviously Miller Time early.

Got skip here in ky coming in from texas and oklahoma this morning on 38 lsb

 

[Tokin]

Little bit of action on 38 lsb. I think it was 3922 Harrisburg PA i talked to briefly as conditions are in and out.

Ch 20am Talked with Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska this morning around 8:30 Central. Then it died off. Texas started to roll in around 11 am. At 1 this afternoon until 7 pm it was all FLORIDA. I'm thinking I talked to around 17 guys from the sandbar. I was getting cross channel from both 19 and 21 from Florida. Still running the 40w barefoot Galaxy Pluto into the "old scatter-stick" mounted just outside the shop door on a 3 foot tripod. when the skip is further away I switch to the 5 element on the tower

 

[S&W357]

Radio is silent here today except for a weak distant recorded voice of a preacher playing constantly on channel 21.
