If everyone also logged into SKYPE via the Internet, then you could then hear what the stations were saying that weren't in your skip zone. When a station transmitted, they would also key up the SKYPE connection. Listening to dead air is not my idea of fun. When I listened earlier this evening, out of the 6 or 8 stations in one roundtable, I could only hear 3 above the noise. I kept tuning off a few KC's to listen to the DX rolling in when I couldn't hear anyone above the noise. Later, I rolled up the band and worked a bunch of European's on SSB with the National NCX-5.
