I'm glad to be getting some traction here.
Contact across the country with 339 near Yosemite National, CA has been pretty steady on LSB 16 from noon eastern until now.
Around 12:08, 36 in Columbus, OH and I made contact. He was coming in strong but there were some guys an AM testing their watt-meters disrupting things a bit.
A few minutes later, around 12:10, I made the connection with 481 in SW Atlanta.
Linked up again with 339 around 12:24. Just now, at 12:40, I made a solid contact with 222 in Philadelphia, PA.
Last week-end saw strong and steady contacts from my Miami location (a 102" whip with a counterpoise on on a tripod) and west Texas. The steady contact this morning from my location in the lower Florida Keys has been 339 in California.
I'm running a stock Uniden PC 122 (the one in my banner on the upper left) with a no-name amplified mic feeding an A99. There's no amp and the radio has never been tweaked in any way. With this set up, I'll take these results. Let's see what the rest of the afternoon brings.
