LSB 16 lives! I'm looking forward to this upcoming week-end.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 25th and SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 26th LSB 16 NET The skip has definitely been better these last couple of months. So, as we've discussed already, let's see if the skip gods will be kind to us next week-end and give us skip conditions worthy of us giving thanks for. Let's stick to...

There was skip rolling yesterday. LSB 38 was active, but there was the usual "11111..." jerk and another idiot or two. But LSB 40, 39 and 35-37 were sharing the wealth. I dropped to LSB 16 for a while. I made a couple of solid contacts with 948 out of Ridgeway, PA. I heard him call out a...

I've had the CB on all afternoon as I did things around the house. There was plenty of skip rolling in on LSB 35-40. LSB 37 & 38 were at times unusable because of the clutter and the occasional noise maker idiot. I did hear one station calling out DX on LSB 16 a few minutes ago, but he didn't...

I actually keep a log of my 11 meter DX contacts. The DX was hopping big time on LSB 16 around this time last year. I connected clear across the country to AudioShockWave and quite a few others using less than 10 watts on SSB on my Cherokee AH-100 walkie talkie. The points made above...

I say we aim for a Turkey Day week-end DX-a-thon. I just floated the idea on the "Reclaim LSB 16" thread.

Anyone up for a Turkey Day week-end LSB 16 DX week-end? Of course, I'll have to step away for the Florida vs. Florida State game. But college football, Thanksgiving and a little DX sounds like a pretty good week-end to me.

I had my walkie talkie marine mobile set up last week-end. 38LSB was pretty backed up. The annoying thing was the number of local conversations folks were having apparently oblivious to the idea that they might be cluttering up the main call channel. I had a short QSO with 77 in London...

OCTOBER 14-15th LSB 16 NET Just a friendly reminder that we are going all out on LSB 16 this week-end. We'll follow our old protocol of starting at noon eastern time on Saturday and then aiming for every hour on the hour after that. We'll do the same on Sunday. Fall weather conditions are...

In my area, South Florida, GMRS is where CBers and hams looking for a more amicable radio environment are finding common ground and coming together. The South Dade GMRS club in Miami and the Conch Auxiliary Radio Emergency Services (CARES) here in the Keys have joined forces to link a Miami...

Terrible local weather conditions today. It has been pouring rain all afternoon accompanied by thunder and lightning. It was definitely time to unscrew the coax from the back of the set. I'll definitely make random shout outs between now and then, but I'm going to plan on saving my best...

I scan LSB 16, USB 40 and LSB 35-40 every so often. Conditions have not been great. I'll keep randomly scanning on occasion, but I'm definitely going to focus on making contacts the October 14-15th week-end on LSB 16. The more of us that are out there on the coordinated dates the better the...

Correct: nor required, but boy are they impressed!

To impress (nerdy) women and the FCC!

LSB 38 has been pretty messy this morning. Boston, Montreal, Calgary, Minnesota and a few stations from Texas were talking all over each other. LSB 16 was dead. Not a soul on there. Despite LSB 38 hopping, the only other skip I picked up was Brasil on LSB 40.

Back to the Uniden Bearcat 980. I've had two. The first one performed flawlessly for six months and then the finals died. Amazon refunded me my money and I decided I was better off bringing my 40+ year old Realistic Navaho TRC 490 SSB base out of retirement to replace it. I bought a second...

We had some fantastic DX days last October and November. I'm hoping we see a repeat of those conditions this year. We are long overdue. So...how would everyone feel if we took a step back to re-group? How about we take some time to get the word out that we'll be pushing for another LSB...

I made a good, solid contact on LSB 16 with WDX 226 at around 5:15P.M. eastern. Around 5:49P.M., I made a good contact with 2880 in Central New York. The conditions are out there, but we don't seem to have the numbers today. Let's see if other WDX members join the party.

I've got the radio on as I engage in the great American past-time of watching college football. There is some skip propagation today. Unfortunately, no luck today on LSB 16 through 4:25P.M. LSB 38 has some activity, but I'm not hearing pile-ups. Efforts to reach fellow WWDX members on USB...
