Reclaim LSB 16

[BC Coyote]

Greg I heard you down in the noise calling just after 10am Pacific time on 16. Only an S unit or so.... couldn't make the trip back to you though.

Conditions are terrible here. I tried for about an hour between 38 and 16. I did manage to talk to Jamaica once on 38, but otherwise it was a bust.

Yeah I had some conditions earlier in the morning but I just now got back from running errands and the band has totally died. Even 6 is just static now.......

Same up here,was on for a little bit and absolutely no dice on my end up here in Central Pennsylvania this afternoon........

 

[BC Coyote]

Tried at 10 11 12 and 1 pacific time. No dice. I do have the Carolina's, Tennessee, Florida and Alabama are all thundering in on 38 right now.
I did hear some interesting Spanish traffic on 16 in AM mode.... I had a female Mexican taxi dispatcher for 30 or 40 minutes. Tons of echo and fast delivery. Multiple mentions of Merida and Valladolid, which are both in Yucatan..... Right after that I had Venezualan truck drivers talking about dangers on the highway to Caracas. Mentioned "Los Banditos en las montanas" and gas station operators who were no better than thieves!

My neighbor has got some gardening florescent lamps that are wiping out my ears. I'm taking the SSB walkie talkie out on the boat tomorrow and will make the effort from the marine mobile.

I'll try getting time tomorrow, I'll have everything turned on, so if I don't come back to you, it is likely because of HEAVY antenna enhancement going on on my end. I have an S0 noise floor so my base has good ears though.

Hello from Kansas. If I can sneak out into the mobile tomorrow I will try to give it a listen to see if I hear anyone. Of course will throw out a call time to time.

You could hear a pin drop the band is so quiet this morning. Darn.

Edit to add: Just heard voices in the back of the radio. Perhaps it will improve later in the morning like it did yesterday.......

HF propagation prediction for 12-10 meter bands today is in the "GOOD" range for the daylight hours and "POOR" range for night time. I expect that we'll be hearing more skip as we move through the afternoon hours. My Starduster clone does skip well. It will be put to the test in about 10 minutes.

 

[FlatlandBusa]

The band scope looks dead here, even the bowl is pretty dead.

Calling on 27.155 right now.

Edit: nothing heard, nada, zilch, nothing anywhere on the band scope in south central Nebraska.
