    I was all over the country yesterday on 28. Home today for doctor appointments and don't have a base so no skip for me today. But listen on 28 next time you are out. 938 the Rat in North Dakota will be calling.

    Hey Rat,

    Motormouth Maul in Cali had 28 tied up today. I sure wished I had a set up like he does. I have never heard anything coming in from ND here in AR. but have heard folks talking to ND. I'll try some on 28 tomorrow.

    To just listen, all you need is an antenna, the bigger the better! A base station antenna obviously works better (has better ears) than a mobile antenna.

    Like Mike said, the better the antenna the more you will hear. I can listen to chatter from NW Europe and Germany as well as Austrailia and New South Wales but they haven't heard me yet.

    Rolling good again today. Was only in the truck for a few minutes after the sun came up but talked to a few guys in Florida from nebraska on 28, like they were locals.
