I use to shoot skip on AM and it was ok but a while back I started using ssb and love it! Tonight I made contacts with 111 102 and 808 who were all in Missouri. These are by no means rare contacts but I still love the thrill of shooting skip.Everyone I talked to said I sounded great and since I only use about 50 watts I think i'm doing ok. I hope to set up about 250-350 watts soon. Listen in on 38lsb for 254 WV, hope to make contact.
