Propagation for 12-10 meters is categorized as "FAIR". I'll give it a few tries tomorrow and see what happens.

APRIL 1st-2nd LSB 16 NET: Start at noon eastern/9:00A.M. pacific both days with an emphasis on hailing every hour on the hour.

Note that I spoke to you Saturday from the lower Keys QTH. That's a Uniden Bearcat 980 with a Workman DM 502 base mic driving an A99. Sunday's contact was from the Miami QTH. That was done using my 42 year old Realistic TRC 490 with an even older Turner Super Sidekick driving an IMAX 2000...

I connected with 134 at around 5:12P.M. There was a station calling me, but they were buried in the noise floor. The biggest problem I had was the guys from Chicago clogging up LSB 16 as they talked to each other for almost an hour and a half. So, yes, there was propagation. No, it was not a...

I had a good contact with 933 at about 1:46 P.M. For the past few minutes, there have been a couple of guys on LSB 16 carrying on a conversation. It sounds like they are in the Chicago area.

I'm running 12 watts PEP. Your successful Florida contact might have been using a little more.

I mad contact with 134 at around 1:52 P.M. and then with 128 around 5:13 P.M. I heard 917, but had no luck getting back to him. Same with 431 and 969. It definitely has not been a great skip day, but there has been skip out there. There's a NY/NJ LSB 16 group that talks nightly around...

I've had the radio on as I've been taking care of things around the house. There has been a fair amount of AM traffic clogging up the channel at times. The only LSB 16 traffic I've heard was 134, who was coming in pretty consistently from about 1:30 eastern until after 2:00P.M. After that...

Primarily in the Tampa area?

Does your central Florida group have a name? Does the group start a net at a specific time?

@339 - that was me trying to get back to you about 15 minutes ago on LSB 16. You are making it all the way across the country to the Florida Keys.

LSB 16 NET - Saturday, March 25th and Sunday, March 26th This is just my usual friendly reminder that we'll run our LSB 16 net again this week-end. On Saturday, we'll start at noon eastern/11:00A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific and follow our "every hour on the hour protocol" for as long as...

My gut tells me that folks who take the time to participate in forums like WWDX both love and respect the hobby. I do and I put what I've learned both to enjoyment and to practical use as well. When I bought my last boat two years ago, the salesman, who was excellent and experienced was...

Here in the Keys, the environment pretty much requires that you use stainless hardware, screws, bolts, washers, etc. if you want anything to last more than a few weeks. I've been burned using Chinese stuff that supposedly was 304 or 316 grade stainless steel. The salt air environment down here...

I wish they'd stop jerking my supply chain! But if they don't, I've got enough extra radios, mics, coax and antennas to open a museum on 1980's technology.

Whatever you do and whatever band you do it on, please don't be the guy who talks about his prostate exam/problems.

Let's not confuse hams with turkeys.

Wait a minute: you mean "AM" doesn't stand for "Awesome mode"?

But not everyone can handle the responsibility which comes with it.

I was sweating it out at 54-52, but the Canes have finished phenomenally strong in both of their last two games - tonight's game being #2. If they could just keep it going for three more games... Go Canes!
