Reclaim LSB 16
- Thread starter Rick330man
- Start date
I've been trying 16 and 39USB every time the conditions move in. Never get anyone. I did talk to West Indies, Sydney AU, Italy and BC yesterday!
Just made a contact with 1217 Illinois…was in the grass but making it. The only person I heard on 16lsb…so far.
I scan LSB 16, USB 40 and LSB 35-40 every so often. Conditions have not been great. I'll keep randomly scanning on occasion, but I'm definitely going to focus on making contacts the October 14-15th week-end on LSB 16. The more of us that are out there on the coordinated dates the better the chances that we get repeats of the types of results we enjoyed in October and November of last year.
I've called out a few times on LSB 16 and thought I heard some operators talking, but too distant for me. I did have a QSO with 225 on USB 40. The rest have been between 365 and 435 LSB.
Heard ridafix WDX-561 this morn on 40USB. Man it was tough but you made it to SoCal!!!
Alternating between calling on 16LSB and 40USB with it all turned on.
Just made a QSO w/ F224 in California. Talking w/Unit 442 now

Yeah that was a tough one. I was using the telescopic on top of the Jeep. Thanks for getting back to me!
Terrible local weather conditions today. It has been pouring rain all afternoon accompanied by thunder and lightning. It was definitely time to unscrew the coax from the back of the set.
I'll definitely make random shout outs between now and then, but I'm going to plan on saving my best efforts for the October 14th-15th week-end.

Had a contact with 081 in Minnesota. He was tough to hear but still intelligible. The only station on 16LSB.
I happen to rip my LMR 400 in two part with the roll bar of a Scag mower. Not used to to the roll bar or wearing sun glasses with a hat.
OCTOBER 14-15th LSB 16 NET
Just a friendly reminder that we are going all out on LSB 16 this week-end. We'll follow our old protocol of starting at noon eastern time on Saturday and then aiming for every hour on the hour after that. We'll do the same on Sunday.
Fall weather conditions are showing up. Cold fronts are moving in. The factors that seemed to give us great LSB 16 DX week-ends this time last year will hopefully work for us again.
