    We have had about 2 weeks of almost daily skip and last 2 days have been mad, to the point of just barely being able to trade handles. The big amps are bleeding everywhere, am bleeding into ssb, Think power really ruins the whole cb game. But that will not change.

    No it's not working for anybody, but I do get for local a little boost is a help. I think they should just lift the power to 50 watts or so legal, and enforce it. I don't need an amp there is no local here, the few I do talk to are in reach.

    I remember hearing you last year (almost last year, conditions come back stronger in a few months) on 38LSB from Utah. I was hearing alot of traffic from WA and CA and you sounded fine, not far from the guys running power. I didn't jump in because there wasn't a long enough break.

    Your doing a good job. I'll sit on 30 sometime. :)

    I was in brampton/sauga area fri and many channels were goin ape #### crazy but i noticed it started early that morn in ohio to..My trip from novascotia down to the carolinas and back up was REALLY quiet.....A scattered cb chat would pop up but those lasted 30 seconds between two locals and back quiet.....I actually began to wonder if my set up was fracked up some how...
    Well back in new brunswick now and its quiet as usual..

    Been hearing a fair amount. Much unidentified. Texarkana to Gainesville on the Bankhead Highway (US82), and then on IH40 in western Tennessee. These two locales always great for picking up what’s out there.

    My thoughts probably would not be appreciated, actually. I am not an advocate of amplifers on 11 meters, or mods to the audio up into the splatter zone, your a good candidate to go get your novice ham license get off chicken band and into real radios.
