What are the chances you'd ever see anything as large, say,
as 0dBm into your receiver via skip?

At 14 MHz with a rx antenna gain of 0 dBd and no transmission line loss,
that would call for an incident field strength of about 78.7 mV/m. Maybe
not impossible for some SW broadcast stations and very good propagation
conditions?

The maximum nighttime skywave fields received in the skip zones of a 50 kW,
non-directional, MW AM broadcast station generally are less than 5 mV/m.
