Dang Caveman. It sucks out west. At least at my place. It's been non-exsistent out here for well over a month. I've tried 3 differant radios and 3 antenna's thinking it was my rig. I even went out today and pickerd up a few new antenna parts thinking maybe corrosion or something. NOPE! The skip just sucks. It's damm hard to be a junkie with no SKIP. 10-4?
Well enjoy your damm skip will ya. I'm stuck out here with white noise.

^^^^ I should take a drive a couple of thousand feet and give you a holler. Man it sucks not having conditions. Not even the superbowl. I could pick up my Ham 2 meter and talk right now. It isn't as fun as CB though. Anyway have fun Bro, and enjoy the Skip.

Today the skip wasn't to good. I've been having radio issues. I need to invest in some better coax and get my radio checked as well. I think I'll call and see if the local shop can take some time and look at my radio.

I know wt what you mean Caveman. I was thinking my radio was TU. I don't think it is cuz I can get local stuff. There just ain't no conditions out here right now. I've heard the 10 meter guys saying the same thing. Just gotta wait it out I reckon. Bummer for us.

Today, all channels are in Mexican. I've never heard so much of it. Sometimes I will hear 1 ch, but today they were all from south of the border.

Mine has been for awhile. A lot of Spanish skip. I'd like to get some FogDog, 996, tallman, or bulldog audio 10-4?
