The only contact I made on LSB 16 today was with WDX 945. I didn't hear anyone else hailing on LSB 16. I went up to LSB 37 and was able to make a contact in the Seattle area. Not too shabby. Still, I was hoping for more connections on LSB 16.

I didn't hear much on 16 yesterday. 37 and 38 were busy. Spun the dial to the bowl and heard MMM locking 6 down with a 30 db signal.

I tried a bunch tonight. No conditions I guess. I did make a few Canadian contacts and one Washington this evening.

It looks like really good conditions this weekend. Maybe we can get 16 LSB rolling?

Nice making the contact this morning, I was on Highway 140 driving into town when I heard you.
The band was very noisy on my end but you got through all the traffic.

[Brother DXer]

I had a short but nice qso with @AmericanEagle575 up in PA. Other than that, just noise.

I tried a few times this weekend...... nada

It was very noisy on 16, talked to one guy that was in Texas, mobile as well.
He was a old timer,said they used to talk on 27.145 (rc slot) back in the early days but that was the only two stations that popped above the noise floor on 16.
Conditions are good, it's just the combined noise of AM heterodyne and what sounds like central american stations makes it difficult.
38 was a train wreck, some good contacts on 37 and 39.
Switched to ten meters and there were stations scattered across the band.
