Rick,
Thanks for the update. I have been receiving skip on 10 meters daily on 29.600, 29.640, and 29.680 MHz. Trying to get some stuff on 6 metters but no luck so far. My primary receivers are a Uniden BCD536HP and a Uniden BCD996P2. I also have a couple of ICOM and AOR commuincations receivers I use sometimes to monitor skip. My location is just over the hill from you towards Lake Alma.
I do agree that monitor analog frequencies here "locally" is getting little to none but you can find some good stuff to listen to once in a while. I am able to monitor the Ohio MARCS P-25 system and the county Mototrbo DMR system but mostly monitor civil and military aircraft about 95% of the time. There is also AM DXing, FM DXing, and shortwave radio that keeps be busy while working in the shack.
