Reclaim LSB 16

[Rick330man]

REMINDER:
OUR NEXT LSB 16 NET WILL BE SATURDAY, JANUARY 28th and SUNDAY, JANUARY 29th. We'll stick to the practice of starting at noon eastern time and then aiming for every hour on the hour.

Get your radios tuned, your SWRs down and your antennas up!

So far, nothing to be heard on LSB 16. Some guy a few kc's off frequency on AM is clogging the channel up pretty good. There seems to be plenty of traffic on LSB 38.

I'll keep trying.

Yup just some bleed over. 38 is nuts right now but 36 snd 37 are better for contact.

Yes, sir. You were making a solid trip to Miami, Fla. I'm running my 41 year old Realistic TRC 490 with a Turner Super Sidekick driving a Starduster clone. The set up is totally barefoot.

I also just heard a 305 in California, but he obviously couldn't hear me trying to get back to him.

2117 in Ontario, Canada was making a great trip down here. Unfortunately, it sounded like his ears were getting clipped by bleed-over.

The afternoon is young.

404 I think it was you I could hear but had lots of bleed over and some music playing.
2117 north of Toronto!

Members making contact with each other is the icing on the cake. I had to work today, and have to go in tomorrow morning. But the afternoon is all mine, so I will be on the air for sure. See you guys on the DX!

Tried this afternoon with no luck. Will try tomorrow.

HF propagation for 1/29/23 is predicted to be "FAIR" during the daytime hours on 12-10 meters. I only added 2 DX contacts to my log book yesterday (1/28/23) from LSB 16, but I'm cautiously optimistic and planning on making some additions later today.

The skip is rolling in today. Two contacts already: 113 outside of Allentown, PA and 128 in NE Arkansas. Both contacts were within minutes of each other around 12:30. Not a bad start.

The problem on 16 today is that there's some guy on AM who's been talking almost non-stop. There's also a group there out of Anderson, Indiana. Hopefully these guys will give it a rest and allow the SSB net to gather some steam.

I made contact with WDX 163 at about 1:11P.M. We were both getting slammed with bleed-over from AM 15, but we managed to make it work. A few minutes later, I heard WDX-1863, WDX-945, 0138 in Dallas, Riverman and 659, but didn't have any luck getting back to either of the five.

Propagation conditions are shifting. Hoping for a few more contacts today.

You are absolutely correct about conditions shifting,one min I hear stations that were faint in the background,are suddenly crystal clear for for a min or so,at least up here in Central Pennsylvania.......................

 

[Riverman]

Made contact with Greg T (WDX 945).
He was booming into North Texas loud and clear.
