Is anyone else experincing heavy skip tonight? It's about to tear me up here in NE Arkansas.. I'm trying to log it for later..
the past few nites in early am around 2 am strong skip in the 460 mhg .picking up sandusky OH from warren mi
Brian I am real surprised you haven't heard low band skip yet, what frequency are you searching?
I will agree VHF was hot last night though, our local area public safety was having real problems hearing their units, because of a lot of doubling going on.
On the other hand though I was able to check into a net last night at 8:30 from Hastings (Heartwell) and a ham from Colby KS, also checked in both over 100 miles away on 146.820MHz.
anything from 30-50 MHZ and also from 150-170 MHZ...nothing..
I'm sitting here listening to 29.620 out of NY again. It's all about the antenna. Even a dipole works great. I'm using a 40 meter dipole and it's dragging in that repeater just fine.
