Ya 16am is busy here too. I did manage to hear someone calling out to me but they were so deep in the grass I couldn’t get a number. They quickly faded out. Not the best conditions here.
That was me. Conditions are strange here but I heard you calling. I'm trying to make a sideband contact on this TRC-465 I bought a couple of days ago for 30 bucks!
I've had the radio on as I've been taking care of things around the house. There has been a fair amount of AM traffic clogging up the channel at times. The only LSB 16 traffic I've heard was 134, who was coming in pretty consistently from about 1:30 eastern until after 2:00P.M. After that, there was no SSB traffic at all. On the other hand AM 15 is bleeding over like crazy.
Finally….had a nice contact with 128 in Arkansas!!!! Still making it in as I type this…good job 128!!!
I heard 917 but couldn't get back to him. I did manage to make contact with 969 Vancouver, Washington sitting in my driveway. Conditions are rough. Stations come in then fade quickly.
I mad contact with 134 at around 1:52 P.M. and then with 128 around 5:13 P.M.
I heard 917, but had no luck getting back to him. Same with 431 and 969. It definitely has not been a great skip day, but there has been skip out there.
There's a NY/NJ LSB 16 group that talks nightly around 9:00P.M. There's also the "Old Timers' Net" out of Seattle that hits LSB 16 Saturday nights around 9:30P.M. You may want to try your luck if you're still on later.

Ah 404!!! What’s weird is that I had a Florida contact on the upper channels but foiled by Mother Nature on our contact. LOL
I'm running 12 watts PEP. Your successful Florida contact might have been using a little more.
Oh I am sure he was. Considering your running the legal wattage I am impressed!
