Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In radio propagation, skip refers to a radio signal being reflected or refracted by the atmosphere or ionosphere, and returning to Earth in far away locations. This phenomenon happens often with AM radio, enabling listeners to hear broadcasts across long distances. CB radio was intended not to skip, but often it does skip due to sporadic E propagation. Skip becomes stronger and weaker in accordance with an 11-year solar cycle; 2006 marked a bottom point of that cycle. Occasionally VHF signals skip. Some radio enthusiasts look for such signals and consider them TV and FM DX. Thermal inversions may also produce skipping.
