73,
I had a good contact with 933 at about 1:46 P.M. For the past few minutes, there have been a couple of guys on LSB 16 carrying on a conversation. It sounds like they are in the Chicago area.
I connected with 134 at around 5:12P.M. There was a station calling me, but they were buried in the noise floor. The biggest problem I had was the guys from Chicago clogging up LSB 16 as they talked to each other for almost an hour and a half. So, yes, there was propagation. No, it was not a stellar day for shooting skip on 11 meters.

I have put 404 in the log almost every day that I have put up a call on 27.155LSB, kinda interesting that we have recently had a pipeline. I'll be calling in a couple of minutes just as a matter of curiosity.
Talked to 945 in upper Michigan @ 4:20 pm this afternoon From Seattle. My first 16 LSB contact! Forgot to post my call number 253.

Sounded great up here until the conditions washed everything away.
made contact with wdx945 about 6 pm doing good until he faded out but before he disappeared heard him doing washington,,,,
Hey Greg T, you sounded very loud and very clear coming into the Seattle area! I was working on my Jeep, in my garage, and heard your very strong signal and jump up to respond. Very nice talking to you!
Note that I spoke to you Saturday from the lower Keys QTH. That's a Uniden Bearcat 980 with a Workman DM 502 base mic driving an A99.
Sunday's contact was from the Miami QTH. That was done using my 42 year old Realistic TRC 490 with an even older Turner Super Sidekick driving an IMAX 2000.
Both are barefoot set ups.

You banged into my room for a short time, then was barely above the noise floor, then banged back in again. But when you came through is was loud and clear. Sounded great!

I've been off the air the last couple weeks building a motorized bicycle. Now that it's done, I'll be able to hang out on 16lsb today. I need to move the radio from my office to the garage shop, where I'll be spending the summer.
Here's my latest M/B. A Schwinn beach cruiser with an 80cc 2 stroke motor. Lots of fun riding these things.
