Reclaim LSB 16

[Rick330man]

I was calling CQ-DX for about 20 minutes. Not only did I not get a single response, I did not hear a single other station out there on LSB 16.

Just to be sure, I scanned the band a few times. There was a little bit of activity coming through on LSB 38. AM 28 had some stations talking skip. AM 6 was busy. But my trusty, reliable Starduster clone wasn't picking up anything on LSB 16.

I will try again at 2:00P.M. eastern in the hope that the skip gods will finally shine on us.

I was on for 15 minutes starting at 2:00P.M. No LSB 16 traffic at all, but I did hear that Mexican dispatcher on AM. She's come in on several occasions in the past, so I have to assume AM 16 is the channel their taxi service is on somewhere down there.

I'm going to take a break for a little while, but will try again later in the afternoon.

Just got home from lunch a little bit ago, took a short nap and just went on the air and gave a shout out on 16 LSB a couple times, absolutely quiet and haven't heard any WDX members on there yet, maybe conditions will improve later this afternoon................

Nada on this end.

Well I don't know about the rest of you guys, but 16 LSB was a total bust for me up here in Central Pennsylvania today, absolutely quiet the whole time I had it on and calling CQ on the air,no response at all, hopefully the next time we will have better DX conditions.......

I called at 10, 11 and 1 and 2 Pacific time.......no response. Hearing lots of spanish in AM mode just like yesterday, also a few english speaking truckers also in AM mode. Tons of contacts on 38 today, so conditions must just be very sporadic.

I just realized that ALL my contacts today were West of the Rockies and in Hawaii. Not getting any conditions to the East or Southeast from here......

Nothing happening in central MS today. I checked 16 LSB multiply times but not a peep. I heard one station on 38 LSB out of Brazil (South America) for just a few second and then he was gone. Here's hoping that the DX picks up soon. The last couple of weekends have been pretty much nothing but crickets for me. I hope everyone has a great Memorial day.

I did not hear a single LSB 16 station all afternoon. That Mexican dispatcher on AM 16 came and went, but that was about it. AM 6 generated some noise, as did AM 28. LSB 35-40 was surprisingly dead.

I'm going to be on a marine mobile tomorrow afternoon. Hoping a little reflection off of the water will aide the cause. It has worked wonders in the past. Only one way to find out!

LSB 16 was jumpin tonight. Wasn't there long. Enjoyed checking in with 515.
Made contact with 220 N Georgia, briefly on LSB 38, but it was rough there.
73s

2112

I been doing some reading on here about the WDX thing, and I see there is already a 2112 in MO. I downloade the exel spreadsheet and see that 456 is available. I will stop using the 2112 and if 456 is still available i would like to sign up as Del, N.E. AR, WDX-456.

Not sure where this post should go but hoping someone will help me "find my way" here.

Go to the WDX Roster thread where you found the list. Go to the last page. Scroll down and submit a request.

Is the WDX Roster limited to Ham operators, or anyone?

CB, Ham, any and all. I would venture to say that most of the wwdx numbers are used via CB Radio.
@binrat will add you whenever time permits.

Skip on LSB 16 has been non-existent. LSB 35-40 hasn't been much better. I haven't heard it this quiet in years. The good side of that coin is that I am getting phenomenal local range on AM, FM and SSB.

It obviously isn't going to work all of the time, but it has worked well often enough that I'd still like to keep the reclaim LSB 16 effort alive.
