Since when? I have been a ham since 1981 and never heard that term before.Thanks. A lift is a ham term for skip.

I have been a ham since the early 60's and have never heard that term used to talk about any propagation. Never seen it used in any books or magazines. Use to work at the Mass Institute of Technology working with communications and HF propagation. Never heard that term used the whole 18 years I worked there.
How about explaining just where you got this term from.
I asked a ham friend and THIS is his explanation.
Skip is the bending of signals when they interact with various charged particle layers that surround the earth.
Lift is the bouncing of signals between low (relatively speaking) layers of charged particules.
This condition frequently occurs along the edge of electrically active storms. The signal bounces between the
Layers, exiting hundreds of miles from its enterence point. Also called conduiting.
