In the early 70s we could shoot skip all the way from our home in southern Yukon to virtually anywhere in the USA during the winter. It was quite amazing.
Damn I miss my Stryker radio. Sold it during hard times. But they talk so good. I got endless compliments on how good my Stryker 440 sounded. Even on a mag mount and fiberglass fire stick that thing would talk .
I run barefoot using a Uniden 510 XL with a Wilson Little Will antenna. I am in San Antonio, Texas and reached Ohio, Delaware, and Virginia.. Just have to have the right conditions.... :)
hey man, im new to cb radios. got one hooked up on my truck and i hear people trying to skip. i understand that you use a handle on cb, but whats with the numbers??? like u were saying 105???
I know the video is old but it make me wanna get on my old radio Cobra 148gtl . Didn't know they discontinued it. Just sitting hit checking out setups and getting ideas for my new setup. I need a amplifier so I can skip west coast and out the country too lol.
Didn't hear anyone coming back to you . Maybe I need to tune my ears for Am but to me it just sounded like you were talking when nobody was coming back until the last contact with Arizona . Like I say it must just be me but I didn't hear anything before the final contact at the end of the video.
Hey everyone! I am in Canada Québec here. I am trying to learn how to skip but my god I hear you guys talking with all these expressions and it looks so complicated! What are all these numbers you call for, like 105 etc? I would like to find something like « The Skiping Guide for Dummies »!
Sometimes those big radio stations won’t Answer you but I guarantee they hear yeah specially the lower channels 38 at the 40 they usually do. And talk to you OK this is shep but on side band I go by shepfc1
Hey check your ground on the antenna take it check it on the cable mess you got good ground I have a Wilson 5000 Measure your ground is good check the cable will you plug into the radio make sure you touch the ground on the vehicle in the ground on the coax will you plug in it make sure it’s got a good ground I troubled mind passing on my van that makes a big difference and you SWR good after I did mine my SWR is channel 1.1 On 40 1.1
PA too Texas like a cell phone with a ,Galaxy DX959 & a 2-pill FATBOY....& a Wilson5k. think its time to reinstall the equipment....But would like a Stryker955....$$$. I'll be trying some skip very soon.

Strange you can't make a contact with a amp in line. I run a barefoot galaxy 55hp and never have trouble making contacts out in DX land.
