    i have never messed around with shooting skip or side band but for the last few days in north GA I am picking up a guy on channel 19 who claims he is in Maryland. Didn't catch his handle.

    What is remarkable is I am picking this guy up in my little car with a wilson mag mount feeding a midland handheld hanging on my rearview mirror

    Its all Im hearing today, left Edinburg Tx this morning and just stopped west of Baton Rouge La and I keep hearing truck wash in Ringgold Ga and Sunrise CB shop near ATL, conditions are good for ssb and shoiting skip but it sure makes it difficult to get local info like Baton Rouge being all jammed up ( whats new).

    skip on just about all the channels right now...What I'm getting here in Dallas is mostly coming from the east coast, Carolina's to Florida.

    I’m in Charleston SC, hearing advertisement for a truck wash in Indiana. Definitely lots of noise on channel 19.

    In Utah I heard lots of Canada, east to Ontario. Tennessee, down to San Antonio, and too much from California.

    Still rolling here. I haven’t been able to do much in the mobile, a lot of big stations out playing still. Even 19 is slammed hard enough I can’t hear the truck stop traffic 5 miles away like I normally can.

    TX & OK Panhandle plus western parts of those states: covered up from all directions.

    Am in Fort Worth. “Worst” day yet. Combo of skip & local is overpowering.

    Am enjoying it (except for a few whom we need to hunt down & electrocute. Broadcast live).

    And, as always, the lady at The Finish Line Truck Wash (x182 & x126, IH40) Fairview & Nashville, TN. (Finally looked it up)
