And as others have noted, when the skip is in during the high sunspot periods
it
can be a lot of fun. I've heard the CHP here many times

I've even heard DX stations on the UHF scanner bands when conditions were
right.

Although I guess "skip" probably isn't the right word for me to use when
talking about UHF DX.

Normally, I hear only local stations on VHF and UHF. However, when conditions
are right, you can hear Canadian stations from Ohio.
