The skip has been light to moderate the last few days at my 20.

I was rolling down the I-10 this evening talking to a buddy , just me and him and you could hear a pin drop in between us , some guy keys up and says hello and asks me what's my 20 ,(sounded like he was in the same town as we were) NOPE !! He was in Prescott Arizona !! to So.Cal , we talked to the guy for a couple of minutes and went back to are ratchit jawing. (-: Skip is very speratic around here , but what the hay !! Skip is in !! It's all good in my neighborhood. Anything beats the same old $hit ,different day syndrome around here.

Most of the superbowlers run equipment thats chopped instead of tuned, and that doesn't help with understanding them either.

The skip has been rolling pretty good around Carlisle, PA, as well. For me, its more annoying than anyting else. Makes it impossible at times to converse with customers beyond a mile or two.

Them backswinging doesnt help either

The last several days have been smoken for skip shooters. Here in Indiana stations from Florida and Georgia have been booming. It's always funny when you can't talk to the guy 7 miles across town but some guy 700 miles away can hear you.

Normally I don't get into skip shooting all that much but I have to admit that this week has been fun doing just that. I have talked to people in San Diego and Arizona. Sounded like they were my neighbor. I was on 26.915. Last night on 27.185, the skip was still in there when I turned off my radio at midnight.
It's been a long time since I've heard someone from Arizona on my channel 19 when I'm in Denver.

26.915 is a good frequency.
I have heard people on there when all the normal cb channels were dead.

Freebanding is still risky. You can ask that guy in Texas that
got caught by the airport on that channel.

I just use the regular 40. It is safer.

my REG 40 and upper and lower 40 is just jammed packed on my little starduster antenna and I am loving every min of it from 4pm to 11pm central time....
so many contacts and a lota time to chat

The skip's been rolling heavy down here in Florabama too. Damn near every channel is noisy. Even on my barefoot mobile I'm picking up guys in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin.... talking all over my buddies a couple miles from me!!!

What's the story behind the guy who got caught? Is there somewhere that I can read about this?
