LSB 16 Revival Effort - July 20, 2019

50 years ago today Apollo 11 was on its way to the moon. Do you think maybe the guys set their radio to LSB 16 and shot some skip for a while? Imagine cruising along at 25,000 miles an hour with a 102" hanging off the back of your command module. No wind. No gravity. No atmospheric distortion. A little Doppler effect for good measure.

Just a few thoughts.

Conditions look to be favorable today. The DX is rolling in on LSB 38, where there's quite a pile up. I'm flipping back and forth between LSB 38 and LSB 16, but hoping today is the day we have some success on LSB 16.
 
314 in Indiana and I had short QSO, but he was having difficulty receiving me because of QRM on his end. I was getting some bleed-over on my end from some guys on AM15, but could still pull him out.

I also heard a West Virginia station (maybe Western Virginia), but the AM 15 bleed-over came in over him. I'll try again at 3:00P.M. eastern, 6:00P.M. eastern and 9:00P.M. eastern.

The bottom line is we're having some success today on LSB 16.
