I heard a couple stations here in VA around 12:00 12:30 today. They were having some trouble getting each other clarified in. Another station and I tried to contact either or both but they never heard me. Band seemed to close down right after that since I didn't hear anyone or anyone heard me until I had to close down around 2:00.

I'm glad folks continue to try. I've tried a few times today. No SSB traffic, but some AM activity. I'll keep trying tomorrow, Sunday.

Keeping the faith and continuing the effort.

 

[ForestRunner98]

To be honest it’s conditions haven’t been the greatest here. Was able to talk to locals.

 

[Holydvr]

I just got back home here in AZ. I will keep trying the next two days.

tryin ta talk on 16 lsb be easier to piss up a tree n hope none splatters on ya

 

[Holydvr]

I have the old Johnson 352 on 16 for the last hour. Skip is not as heavy as it was even two weeks ago, but not too much splatter as of today (so far).

 

[ForestRunner98]

Skip is moving in waves here in SoCal. Was able to make a contact in NorCal and Idaho on 39. I’ll take it!!!

As for 16lsb….cricketville.

16 has too many splatter boxes close by n that dont help much. get splatter box fired up n hear A-U-D-I-O A--U--D--I--O NON STOP N 16 IS JUST NOISE. as for why after seeing meters raise its time to quit sounding like a kid but that never happens

LET's TRY THIS AGAIN THIS WEEK-END

I've been getting some interesting skip down here the last few days. Yesterday was pretty dead, but I got great propagation for about an hour. I wound up making a really strong connection with 965 in Nebraska. We made contact on LSB 38 and then carried on the conversation on LSB 39.

Today again sounded like a dud, but then around 2:00-3:00P.M. eastern I started picking up a bunch of stations in California and Arizona. WR 0149 in New Mexico made contact on LSB 38. We did the QSY shuffle to LSB 39, where we were able to speak for several minutes.

So, it looks like there is some sky propagation to work with. To try to improve the chances of success, I'd propose that folks try to make contact on LSB 16 at 9:00A.M., noon, 3:00P.M., 6:00P.M. and 9:00P.M. eastern times Saturday, Sept. 10th (tomorrow) and at the same times on Sunday, Sept. 11th.

Let's give it a try!

just now i did a spin the selectorn on 16 buth upper n lower noise just loud noise

 

[Rick330man]

I proposed the schedule to improve chances of making contacts by getting everyone to try set known times. Starting 9:00A.M. tomorrow, I'll be trying every 3 hours. Let's see if this gets off the ground. Otherwise, we're kind of stuck with the LSB 38 pile up.
