Reclaim LSB 16

[Hairball]

LSB 16 has been quiet I have tried the last 2 weekends with no luck. Will keep trying.

Just gave a shout out on 16 LSB after firing up the Ranger on this New Year of 2023, quiet on this end and the noise level is hitting a 3 on my signal meter up here in Central Pennsylvania!
Happy New Year my Radio Friends............

RT 431 and I made contact about half an hour ago, but I've not heard any other LSB activity on 16. The activity on the upper channels has also dropped off.

It was nice making contact with ya. The am splatter made it tough but we made it work. Hope to make contact with you again when conditions permit.

The pattern I've seen over the last month is that there is decent DX propagation along certain arcs, but they are really tight. I'll hear Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma strong for half an hour, the skips fades and then I'm getting MIchigan, Wisconsin, Ontario and Quebec. An hour after that it'll be California, Arizona and Washington state.

Propagation is out there, but it is finicky.

Ive noticed the same thing. Not soon after I heard 917 in Cali I heard the east coast. It switched that fast.

REMINDER:

Remember that we are now doing our LSB 16 net every week-end. We'll follow the usual practice of starting at noon eastern on Saturday and then aiming for every hour on the hour. I'm hoping the DX gods give us a little support this week-end.

Good luck!

Made a brief contact with 159 in California and pretty sure I heard 917 calling out about an hour ago. Both of them got blasted by that same west coast superbowl champ that bleeds every channel from 10 below channel 1 to 10 above channel 40.

Ya I was out there YardDog!!! Wish I would have talked to you. Too much AM and bleed over from the adjacent channels.

I heard you too. Pretty clear in Missouri. I was sitting in my brothers driveway on a culdesac surrounded by duplexes, transformers, and probably 100 wifi signals...917 Pasadena this is 561 Missouri....nada. I'll get ya one of these days.

Yes sir! A mobile to mobile contact is always cool!!

The prediction for tomorrow, January 8, 2023 is for good propagation on 12-10 meters during the day and poor propagation at night. We'll put that to the test starting at noon on LSB 16.
