I do as well. I usually try 16 a few times every time I fire up.
THANKSGIVING WEEK-END LSB 16 NET: Saturday, Nov. 30th and Sunday, Dec. 1st
The interest is there, so let's do an LSB 16 net from noon eastern/11:00A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific on Saturday, November 30th through 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific on Sunday, December 1st. Let's aim for using the top of each hour to hail other stations. Let's also encourage use of LSB 23 as the channel to switch to in the event LSB 16 gets too cluttered or bleed-over affects your ears.
Tune those radios, check your SWRS and make yourself heard on LSB 16!

Gonna bring out my oldie Kraco 23 channel SSB De Luxe lol. I do have the base SSB model as well, but the knobs are basically shot and seized. Meant to replace them and get that one back up and working. I got both of them I think in 2021? Cheap on eBay at the time.
Just now talked to someone out of New York on 16 LSB. 
Missed his number but believe it started with a 7. Good stuff.

I've tried a few times over the last 10 days or so. There has definitely been some activity on LSB 38, but I haven't heard anything on LSB 16. But that's O.K. We'll see how our post-Thanksgiving LSB 16 net goes next month. I'm looking forward to it.

This 16 lsb business has never been any good for my location so itself a lost cause for me.
I think if we really want a frequency that is most promising to most of us, it'll need to be right above 40 or in between channels in the 30's. That just my opinion.

I've noticed something I think is strange. Maybe I'm very late to the party, or maybe it's something new. BUT, I've noticed that voice reception and signal strength is much better on the higher channels than the lowers. Channels 1 thru about 27 or so are very difficult to make voice contact, and hard to hear. The upper channels seem to be clean and clear, even at the same noise floor level. Proved it tonight during local chat, and my suspicions were right. We usually use 14am (27.125) for local chat. Could barely hear anyone. Moved to 32 and everyone was loud and clear. All the other guys noticed it, too, after I brought it up. This is why I can never make contacts on 16. Anyone else notice this?
