As many will know the most recent skip event was rather a massive event. I've been growing increasingly disillusioned with the CBDX and was attributing my failure to my short enough piece of wire in the attic.

I also have a HF Realistic DX-394 which was rather quite too, was wondering if spending more money on better gear and paying someone to install outdoor antenna or wires would help and deciding I was in a poor area and it’d cost thousands ~ thousands I no longer have anyway, thanks recession ~ and along came skip.

Now I must say I missed most of it as I was busy, and with work in short supply I was really applying myself trying to nurse all whose precious shillings from the purse. But what a marvellous thing skip is. Scandinavia was booming in as if he was at the end of the driveway, Italy, Germany, Georgia, stations saying no Irish, no English, no division 29 p[lease ~ I thought it was a football team so I had to look it up!
My Realistic was speaking in tongues, it was fluent and clear ~ just when I thought I had bought another pup ~ along comes skip.
No wonder skip is the buzz word, it really is. Magnificent times.

Three cheers for the bit of wire, I have dx'ed into the States and UK of the magmount on the roof on 4 watts back in the old days when skip was so strong that you couldn't even talk 600meters down the road to the buddy.
Enjoy.

Yep lads it looks good on the skip front, Ive worked lots of european stations this week. Both mobile and from the base.

Haven't had a good tune about there for a while..,must give it a listen.
I remember about ten years ago parked on Bettystown beach with the DX394 in the car connected to a mag-mount CB antenna on the roof, hearing truckers in South Carolina as if they were two miles away..

[First ever post]
The very first time i got skip, was 10 years ago (was 17) and found i was talking to people from France. I never knew we could get certain "sunspot" days that would help with reception, it was new and puzzling lol.
