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.

UN-OFFICIAL WWDX JANUARY 3rd-4th SSB CB NET: Saturday, Janaury 3rd - LSB 16 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific. Sunday, January 4th - USB 40 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M...

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.

I was on USB 40 just after 1:00P.M. eastern. There was no USB 40 traffic to be heard. There was a strong station on LSB 40 that was bleeding over a bit. A trip down a few channels revealed a fair but reasonable amount of traffic on LSB 37 and LSB 39. LSB 38 barely had anything going on. No...

At the top of the 4:00 o'clock hour I made contact with 226, 316 and 40 (mobile) in Ohio. Not bad for a barefoot Cherokee AH-100 SSB walkie talkie and a Starduster clone. The skip is fading in and out, but there are definitely periods where it is working for us. Also heard 647 in W. Virginia...

This is just a friendly reminder that starting tomorrow begins this week-end's UN-OFFICIAL WWDX DECEMBER 13th-14th SSB CB NET: Saturday, LSB 16 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific. Sunday, USB 40 from noon...

I've talked to that Great Lakes group a couple of times. They have a YouTube channel where they rebroadcast their net.

UN-OFFICIAL WWDX DECEMBER 13th-14th SSB CB NET: Saturday, LSB 16 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific. Sunday, USB 40 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific.

It'll be interesting next Saturday. I'll have my Cherokee AH-100 SSB walkie talkie hooked up to my Starduster clone. Simple. Barefoot. Mother Nature dependent. May the skip gods shine their light on us.

We're working LSB 16 next Saturday from noon eastern until 6:00P.M. eastern.

There still are some old LSB 16 loyalists out there. Some are guys with old 23 channel units. Some are folks that just stuck with LSB 16 over the years. Let's get them and all the others out there this Saturday.
