August 10-11 DX Contest - LSB 16
- Thread starter Rick330man
- Start date
I myself use my WWDX #'s frequently , just in case . WDX1183 . I think Ralph ( S&W357 ) heard me squawking yesterday on 38 LSB .
Rick , I'll be on 16 in a bit , lets see if 500 gets it done , but was quiet here earlier . 73 & God Bless , Leo
A-99 close to 879' above sea level , Cobra 2k , close to 500 ... nothing !
No luck on LSB 16 at all, but I did make contact with four different stations and had several others walking all over each other as they tried to hail me on LSB 38. There definitely was some life in the world of skip this morning.
I did then experience something I had not experienced here in quite a while: a station bleeding over on all 40 channels. That typically only happens when someone is driving down and goes right past me as they are asking for directions. Turns out I've got a "snowbird" from New Jersey who lives part-time about a mile across the channel from me. There is almost no local CB chatter down here, so it was a welcome discovery.
We'll keep trying on LSB 16.

Yes...did hear you for certain but couldn't connect.
38 lsb is annoying when skip is running. Other places are better. I was busy with something else this morning and couldn't turn radio on. Now Thunder Storms yet again. Everything disconnected.
Tuesday. New day rising...high of 85 and overcast. Storms gone until they return tonight at about 11:00 pm and hang around for the next two days.
Connecting everything back up and thinking DX will be rolling today.

It has been pretty quiet these last few days, but there was some sporadic skip rolling in today.
The Labor Day week-end is right around the corner. Would everyone be interested in making another coordinated effort then to revive LSB 16?
