Skip On GMRS


Guest Junior

Recommended Posts

"Hello" everyone,

I was just curious. Does "Skip" happen on GMRS, like it does on CB radio? I have never heard, the GMRS community talking about skip. Also, if it does not happen...why not?

Regards

From what I've read, the shorter wavelengths of gmrs pass through the atmosphere rather than bouncing back like the longer wavelengths of cb and similar longer wavelengths.

Gmrs can experience some tropospheric ducting similar to 2m frequencies, though usually not to the same extent.

Thank you!  Do you have links to propagation maps for HF other than:

DXMAPS 4.2 - QSO/SWL real time information

I haven't run across any, but I'll keep an eye out..Google found https://www.voacap.com/hf/ via https://www.ke6mgb.com/dx-and-propagation-maps/ if those are any help.
