Its rough here today. There was a handful of AM stations hammering. Will keep monitoring for the next couple hours.

Pointless on 16 today. I checked at 11am PST and there's about a dozen AM conversations going on, the white-noise jammer is going, and worse of all the Splatterbox Kings on 6, 11, 15, 17 & 28 are doing their thing and making a big mess of the entire band. I'll pass.......

I tried a few times with no luck. Conditions on 16 were pretty bad, to say the least.

I heard someone calling on 16 lsb this afternoon. I was doing stuff around the house and had my hands full when I heard the call. By the time I got freed up, the caller was gone...

I was calling on 16 for about a hour, it's really a mess.
AM traffic is hot and heavy around 16.
We have been getting hammered with rain and they are forcasting a possible 6-7 inches of additional rain in the next couple days.

I was driving all over central and south Florida with my Cherokee AH-100 walkie talkie hooked up at my Striker 10K magnetic mount. The bleedover onto LSB 16 from AM 15 and AM 17 was pretty brutal at times. However, I did hear a Maine mobile station not too long after 1:00P.M. eastern. A few minutes later I heard a guy from Kansas City booming in. Other stations occasionally could be heard. My little barefoot rig had zero success in getting back to anyone.

I'm going to try to be on 40 USB this afternoon around 2pm, hopefully Conditions will cooperate, sound's like 16 LSB on Saturday was a bust for people condition wise if I read correctly, hopefully everyone has a great Sunday ahead!!

Conditions are very strange today... Stations are either strong one moment, or everyone is non existent on 37 LSB. Will keep an ear out on 40 USB.

I will be monitoring 40 USB today while I do stuff around the house. I have it ready so I can flip the switch if needed.

You're not kidding. Very little heard here on either 37 or 38. Even 6 & 28 are at a low level today. South America however is just booming in! I have several Brazilian stations having a QSO on 40 USB and splatter from a Spanish speaking station on the lower side. Went up to 555 USB and it's full of South America too......tons of Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina etc. Even a couple stations from Venezuela on there calling CQ. Too bad 399 is off the air, he'd be an easy contact for me today!

So it seems the skip has "gone long" today and it's just bouncing right over you guys LOL!
