LSB16 has been dead quiet all day long. LSB38 has some distant chatter, but nothing I can make out. On the other hand, I hear a bunch of noise on AM11.

LSB 16 Revival Effort - July 4th
- Thread starter Rick330man
- Start date
nothing all evening here,, not even the usual east coast duct to the chesapeke area,,,,
On the 4th, approximately 12:25pm Eastern Time for about 5 or 10 seconds I distinctively heard someone calling CQ DX, but skip only lasted a few seconds at a time with only about an S unit or less above my very low noise floor, but it didn't hold long enough to make out any call sign. I kept calling back hoping to be heard on an upswing, but no response. A few minutes later I briefly heard someone say 41? in GA. This rapidly fading in an out signal sounded like he was trying to reach someone in MA. That’s all, but I’ll keep monitoring more often in the future.
I set up my CB and listened. Nothing on 16L but there was some light chatter on 38L here in Boise Idaho area.
Solar minimum isn't helping us. To help our efforts, we'll need to follow the solar weather reports and identify an opportunity.
well we actually had some skip here in NV all day yesterday, but it was plagued with a constant noise level in my area so it was hard to pick up anything that was below an S-7 at my station.
I did hear someone on 16LSB right at the noise floor during the afternoon but couldn't make out what they were saying.
and of course this morning we had beautiful conditions with no noise and stations coming in from all over, and not a soul on 16LSB. 38LSB was booming with stations, but not a one on 16.

get 1 of them off frequincy operators who swear they got their splatterboxes churned proper. Then they shout for long periods and nobody replys as they are so far outta whack.
Dont forget the bull bawl vioce either
I'm just gonna adopt the idea of checking 16LSB first into my routine, not gonna give up at all. Just need to keep it going
I've been checking 16LSB out. I have tried a few times but I get nothing except some bleed over from channel 15 am. I will keep trying as well.
Today is another quiet day for DX on CB. But like others have said, I'll keep pushing LSB 16. I'm checking the "solar weather" forecasts" and listening to activity on LSB 38. If either looks positive, I'll try to get something going on LSB 16.
The effort continues.
The effort continues.
Maybe a call out on 38 lower to have some join you on 16 lower may bring some benefit.
