Reclaim LSB 16

[Rick330man]

Let's see if the skip gods give us a hand tomorrow. We'll do the usual noon start time.

Don't forrget to reset your clocks tonight. It'll be interesting to see how Daylight Savings Time affects results.

Make LSB 16 great again!

LSB 38 is already a mess. Several stations just ratchet-jawing are clogging it up and there's also plenty of folks trying to DX. LSB 39 isn't quite as crowded, but it is again tied up with folks having conversations. LSB 16 is quiet. We'll see when the net begins in an hour and half...

I made two LSB 16 contacts already. I heard 001 off of Lake Eerie. He was booming in down here in Miami. A quick call out to him and I learned that he's the net controller for Lake Eerie SSB radio club. They are on LSB 16 Sunday mornings at 10:00A.M. eastern. He didn't know about WWDX and our net. I didn't know about theirs. Sounds like we all now have a few more opportunities to make contacts. Listen out for him and his group.

Right after that QSO, 747 in Detroit came in.

Good contacts with both.

All I've heard this weekend on 16 lsb is banjo music.

I called out around 1pm PST and I heard someone, maybe 555, come back but they were DEEP in the weeds.

Nope, it's 8 seconds of fast banjo on a continuous loop.

As the saying on the t-shirts goes: "paddle faster, I hear banjos".

603? If that was you two I heard, you were booming in here in Miami, FL. I heard the station in Bakersfield (405?), but just barely, over the noise floor.
