    Caught Ohio on the SSB yesterday. It was quick and furious. I think we are going to see better propagation on the horizon. When it does it runs strong. Talked to Ohio on 12watts pep. Someday John it will bounce in the right direction. I just was hooking up an old President RA144 I just received an hour before the skip came in and that was my first contact. I thought I had my shoes on and didn't. LMAO. Wanted this RA144 for my field radio in the mtns. Going to fix it in a waterproof box with the correct accessories and battery. Hey Friends CB is coming back to the USA. A great show John !!!!!!!!!!!!! When the skip isn't in I live Proxy from your contacts. LMAO. Best UTUBE CB SHOW. 73's And God Bless.
