I definitely get bleed-over from AM17 and AM 15. But my skip log shows that the frequency where I have made the most contacts over the long haul is LSB 16. Remember also that some guys are still running those old 23 channels sets. LSB 16 lets them stay in the game. Food for thought.

M0GVZ's chart is telling me I want a 1/2 wave, center fed dipole for decent broad coverage of 11 meter skip.

I've been looking over a few years worth of posts. It seems to me that the most successful days we've had promoting the informal WWDX CB nets were when we: (1) did it once a month and (2) pushed the LSB 16 option. I'm not saying other channels didn't work, but only that this combination seemed...

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...

My station looks like yours except that I favors 6L6s, so I've got a Fender where you've got that Marshall.

Is there an interest in trying to establish a standard FM call channel within the legal 40?

I think it was about two years ago when Brother DXer and his local radio community would hang out on FM 30. I hooked up my 40 channel President AM/FM walkie talkie to my A99 and talked with them several times from my QTH here in the lower Florida Keys. It was just my walkie talkie into my A99...

LSB 16 oftentimes surprises us with non-WDX guys who still carry on the LSB 16 tradition from the 1970's.

Do we follow the same sheme: LSB 16 on Saturday and USB 40 on Sunday?

Would folks like to set up another CB skip net for the January 3-4 week-end? Chime in.

LSB 40 and AM 40 are both hopping. They are definitely causing some problems for me. But I'm not hearing anything on USB 40 anyways. It ain't my USB 40 day!

I could hear a couple of stations on USB 40 carrying on a QSO, but the signals weren't strong enough for me to make out their numbers.
