I would have to agree with ya on shooting skip on channel 19...But if I hear someone in DX on channel 19, then YES, I'm going to try and make the trip back to them, mainly because of how crowded the channel is around here in the Dallas area, making a clean contact in DX on 19 is like putting a feather in your cap! And then listening to everyone else trying to make the contact with no luck, or saying those guys weren't really where they said they were...is priceless...
Just yesterday and this morning I talked to several different people in the Northeast on 19...Didn't plan on it...Just worked out that way!
And Yes, I know for a fact the contacts were where they said they were...Because I know them from other DX channels, and Forums...

People turn their squelch or RF gain back so far that they don't have any ears for anything less then 100-200 watts locally.
So no, I don't intensionally go calling our for contacts on 19 but when someone long distance calls me out then I will answer back. I just don't turn on my little heater when running 19.
But I have a big day today, heading out in an hour or so up to Manitoba so I will be trying on 28 when the sun comes up.
Going to be heading into manitoba from the east on Trans Canada 1 towards Brandon MB then heading south through the Peace Gardens and dropping down through ND towards the central part of the state.
Not sure what conditions will be like but if I hear noise then I will be trying. -

One of the CBers on one of the other forums keyed up to her one day from the U.S., she responded back with "shut up gringo". -
