August 10-11 DX Contest - LSB 16

[Rwb]

Almost sounds like planning a mid-summer context pissed off the great DX gods.

but its best to be pissed off than pissed on

No luck on LSB 16 at all, but I did make contact with four different stations and had several others walking all over each other as they tried to hail me on LSB 38. There definitely was some life in the world of skip this morning.

I did then experience something I had not experienced here in quite a while: a station bleeding over on all 40 channels. That typically only happens when someone is driving down and goes right past me as they are asking for directions. Turns out I've got a "snowbird" from New Jersey who lives part-time about a mile across the channel from me. There is almost no local CB chatter down here, so it was a welcome discovery.

We'll keep trying on LSB 16.

Yes...did hear you for certain but couldn't connect. 38 lsb is annoying when skip is running. Other places are better.

I was busy with something else this morning and couldn't turn radio on. Now Thunder Storms yet again. Everything disconnected.

 

[S&W357]

Tuesday. New day rising...high of 85 and overcast. Storms gone until they return tonight at about 11:00 pm and hang around for the next two days.

Connecting everything back up and thinking DX will be rolling today.

...stage decoration wife and I set up for Missions Conference at our church a year ago...

 

[RT431]

I've had nothing but static for the past few days.

 

[Rwb]

As you see i was from top to bottom on my galaxy 99v, bearcat 980,sears rt with umpeen frequencys nothing but my radioshack htx 212 was busy all day on 2 meters

 

[Rick330man]

It has been pretty quiet these last few days, but there was some sporadic skip rolling in today.

The Labor Day week-end is right around the corner. Would everyone be interested in making another coordinated effort then to revive LSB 16?

'Won't hurt to give it another go Rick330man. Do we keep it open ended as far as time and date(s)?
