Good question! I have an old 23 channel SSB radio on 16lsb (almost 24/7). Usually I get some traffic from across the border (get a lot of that living in the lower end of Texas), but I would love to make some english speaking contacts on 16 one of these days. Many times I fall victim to the "XYL Propagation Factor" (when there's skip coming in the wife usually finds that list of things for me to do around the house --- or worse ---errands to run

I would love to have a big box with a big tube. But then I look at the prices, and the thought quickly leaves my mind.

Had a nice QSO with 1052 in Virginia. He sounded great!!
Checked before church this morning and had nothing, got home and broke the squelch with still nothing in the receiver. We'll see what this evening brings.
38 lsb there's some action happening but not in my favor as of yet because I can't quite punch through. Hopefully I can get the 2970N2 situated soon so I can have a little more POWA to break through.
The band is flat here, I talked to my brother this morning and it was rough, we sat on 40 for a while and talked but never heard another station.
38 had a few stations right at the background level but nothing good to pull out.
Just have to bounce in and out checking conditions.

Been on since 3 pm and moving between 36, 37 & 39 LSB. I've been getting stations in from the NE. Several in Boston, NY, and Connecticut. Made a handful of quick contacts and a few good QSO's. I tried 808 in Delaware. @Shadetree Mechanic I thought if I'm getting close, it's worth a try. Haha.
Been hit and miss around here especially yesterday when I was unloading things in a yard sale. one minute it was here and the next it was gone but it kept me entertained between customers.
While driving to the nursing home today to see my sister, my barefoot McKinley on 38 LSB picKed up a guy calling himself World Radio from Southern Cal. and I usually don't hear much out of Southern Cal. When I got home and changed into my work cloths I decided to turn on my Lincoln II+ hooked to my Star Duster, barefoot and heard Southern Cal coming in on that also
I talked to unit 4 in Cali around 1030 this morning on LSB 38. Said he'd been listening for a couple of hrs this morning and I'm the first one he'd really heard today.
