[xm49north7]

I bought a 980 are they good radios on sideband the truck stop I went to it's all they had in the ssb lineup

I like mine , no complaints ,getting out skip every day from here in ontario down as far as florida border, all stock power, run a full wave vertical loop.

I remember trying to revive 16LSB years ago, dont think it went anywhere. I'm sure conditions had a big impact then, like now.

July 4th is Independence Day here in the U.S. Many of us will have the day off. How about we give the LSB 16 revival effort another shot then? My recommendation is that folks work around the following hailing schedule:

9:00A.M. eastern/8:00A.M. central/6:00A.M. pacific;
12:00 noon eastern/11:00A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific;
3:00P.M. eastern/2:00P.M. central/12:00 noon pacific;
6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific; and
9:00P.M. eastern/8:00P.M. central/6:00P.M. pacific.

The skip has been decent these last three days. Maybe we'll get lucky and it'll hold.

I will be on 11 meters that day at 16 lower. Uniden 810e with quarter wave whip on my F150. Calling out or answering as Big A Boise 521. Operator Alan. I'll be using Turner +3 mic and pushing 10 watts PEP. Hope to be in touch with some of you.

Uh, I live in the Mountain Time Zone. Can I still bring my toys to play? Had to tease a bit. Giggle.

For those of you that are interested, we've been having some luck today - July 20 - on LSB 16. The suggestion for maximizing our chances of success was to try to focus in on the following hailing schedule.

9:00A.M. eastern/8:00A.M. central/6:00A.M. pacific;
12:00 noon eastern/11:00A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific;
3:00P.M. eastern/2:00P.M. central/12:00 noon pacific;
6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific; and
9:00P.M. eastern/8:00P.M. central/6:00P.M. pacific.

If you've ever had to work the pile-up on LSB 38, you understand why xm49north7's original idea of being able to use an alternate hailing frequency is worth pursuing. If we can make LSB 16 work again, we'll have accomplished something. All of us using SSB on CB will be able to reap the benefits of the effort.

I like talking skip, mostly side band- lsb 38 seems to be where everyone wants to be, I run a stock radio 4/12 watts, a 980. I get out well but those cb's with the big amps make it hard. Why don't people use other channels. I have had luck calling on say 30, or 36. I am suggesting people with stock gear call out on 30. I am able to get out good to other stock radios, I don't really want to buy an amp, I enjoy what I have. So if your on the side band talking skip, I will be shouting out on lsb 30, I am """ North 7""""" do say hello!! Do encourage others to do this. I would like to see a bunch of us who enjoy the challenge of stock radio. No problem with people and there amps, there is room for all. I do think it is time for us low what stock people to carve out our own place on the dial. Anyone else with me? Thoughts appreciated.

I like the challenge of running my barefoot CB Radios & I do my DX on the Amateur Bands where on most I am running a Kilowatt or more on HF & 6 meters.My Uniden 980SSB,TRAM D201A,or DAK Mark X all do just fine on SSB & I make plenty of contacts far from my home here in Florida with my Antron 99 at just 30 ft.I do make contacts on 38,39,& 40 LSB as well as channel 16 sometimes & I even use my old Realistic TRC-48's,TRC-46,& TRC-47 on channel 16 LSB.

I wish I had not been STUPID & traded my 810e.It was completely Bone Stock & looked brand new.I made an error in judgement & made a bad deal in trading it away.One of the best little base radios I have ever owned.
