Way to go ( with the skip)
One of the things that got me into better radios and ultimately ham radio..was to be able to not simply be able to talk skip really good...but also enable me to be able to talk with locals even when skip is rolling all over the place..
But now...where i used to talk lots of skip...Now i talk mad crazy skip with only slight conditions..
Oh and i still have not ( and likely never will) use a amp/linear
