Reclaim LSB 16

[Rwb]

ever time i go round the dial 16 is A dead quiet or B full of splatter boxes off frequincy screaming n saying bad modulated waving the hand {needs a puppy or kitten} and saying bye bye bye {sounds like talkin to a baby} is why it never happen

SSB contacts from all over the country on CH16 LSB were easy and all over. Maybe SSB had fewer stations then. But a lot of fun. A Johnson Messenger 350 and a Palamor 150 amp was such a joy operate on Dads Boat, during slow work times.

I keep an ear out on CH16 LSB and a call once and a while. CB38 LSB is yeah heavy with the big signals. So I sometimes listen in on the CH40,39,37, and 36. Talked to a guy in West Virigina running a stock radio and antenna in his truck. He later had a QSO with another mobile and said all you need is a good antenna and mobile radio. They had to be stock with S-Meter readings of S3 to the noise level. Again a lot of fun.

Tropical storm week-end here in the Keys. Tropical weather always makes for some interesting propagation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some success on LSB 16.

Im headed to flip radio on. Any luck yet?

Well, I just realized that I botched the date on my LSB 16 effort by listing Saturday as June 5th when it is actually June 4th. That said, I just spent from noon until about 12:20 eastern time on LSB 16 trying to get a response. No luck. There was some AM traffic, but not a soul responded on LSB. I'll try again at 3:00P.M. eastern and see if we can get this movement off the ground. Until then, I'll just keep the radio on as I take care of other things.

19 am has palm beach rolling into here

 

[Rick330man]

I just tried again from about 2:45P.M. to 3:30P.M.

There were several stations on A.M. One guy in Delaware was coming in pretty well. A station in Virginia wasn't far behind. However, there was zero response on LSB 16. I'll try again at 6:00P.M. eastern.

there is a few who gather there on sunday evenings using pre 1978/23 channel radios ,,,,

At what time do they start? And where are they based?

I tried multiple times this past week-end to make a contact on LSB 16. No luck. I'll just keep trying and hoping to make contact with a local crowd somewhere that has kept LSB 16 going.

I'm going to leave the radio on LSB 16 for a good portion of Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon as I take care of things. The hope is to get some favorable propagation and make a few contacts.
