Reclaim LSB 16

PRESIDENTS DAY LSB 16 WEEK-END NET:
Not shooting skip over the Presidents Day week-end would be un-American. So we'll do our usual noon eastern start time on Saturday and then aim for every hour on the hour and then repeat on Sunday.
Some folks started the practice of a QSY to LSB 22 or 23 after making contact on LSB 16. It seems to have worked for some operators who were getting slammed by bleed-over primarily from AM 15 or AM 17. Let us know if that is working for you and let's keep doing our part to:
MAKE 16 LSB GREAT AGAIN!

Any contacts today?
I had a nice qso with @AxlMyk , Mike in Michigan. Lately we seem to always have good luck talking. We actually went up to 22 to get out of the qrm, that worked well.

Had a brief and I mean brief contact with 163 Mike in Michigan. Conditions not that good today.
I heard the 163 call, but it was weak. About all I've heard today.
Ya man..funky conditions. I made a contact with Minneapolis on 36 and he said I was blasting in. Go figure!! LOL
Oh, that was you. You were pretty much in with the noise. I just couldn't make out what you were saying.
Yeah, it's definitely an on again/off again day. This morning was better but even then conditions were sporadic. I'll keep my radio on whenever I'm home today. You just never know when it will light up.
Same here. You signal was super faint but I was able to hear your numbers. Next time!!!

Too windy to deploy the Moxon today, mud ducking on the mobile produced zero contacts. Part of it, good with the bad. I heard 917 make a solid effort on 16LSB but he couldn't hear me.
Maybe we'll have better conditions tomorrow, brother.
Ya man I was trying!! Too bad you had wind cause the last time it was definitely getting out. Was I barely above the noise level??
You were getting out pretty good, I could swear I heard 306 Scotland try to get back to you on 37LSB at one point but you couldn't hear him. Double skip perhaps? The majority of stations I heard today were in CA and quite a few from across the Atlantic too. Weird conditions but it's all good, I got a hike in and found a new creek to arrowhead hunt too!
