Anybody get some of that skip Friday night/Saturday morning about 2AM
EDT. That was some rocking skip. I was hitting all the "M" states on AM
and SSB in the mobile with a 2x455 box on low and a stock TRC-451 (Cobra
146) with a non-amplified 636L and a 7 foot KW-7 Firestik with 7 feet of
coax and a 1.7:1 SWR. It hasn't been touched or checked since I got my
ham ticket in May 2003. Nothing like DX, on any band.
I have the QSL card proving a 192 mile VHF-FM simplex contact! For local
contacts, 2 meter FM beats 11 meters. For actual skip, 11 meters is
wild, especially on SSB. After 25+ years on radio, I'm ready for some 10
meter action. It should be similar to 11.

Skip was great, even this early AM in the wee hours. Did you talk to any
vessels?
