Reclaim LSB 16

[Radiomatrix]

I found the predictor(s) but not sure how to use it….yet.

Skip was running when I got on around noontime Eastern.
I was using the 505 Washington DC callsign. I preface with WWDX, WWDX.

scary not knowing if I am getting out.

a few that were pretty strong and clear were: 51 Central Oregon and 8255 Arizona.

I don’t know if they were strongly amplified stations or lucky with promo!
cheers.

NOt much skip this Monday morning. LSB 38 is dead. I'm hearing Brasil on LSB 37 and LSB 36 has a Canadian station talking to a Florida station I can't hear. That is all the skip I am hearing.

I hope things improve as the day moves on.

I had lots of west coast contacts over the weekend on L38 like they were local, mostly afternoon hours. Stopped on L16 for awhile but couldn't get anyone to come back.

Nothing for days in my part of the world. But, that's just the way it is. It can also change for the better any time.
I'll continue checking in occasionally.

Well I tell you what. This is the best I have heard in weeks. I contacted 94 carlos paris france From the DC area!! My radio works!

 

[Rick330man]

I've been able to hear some skip activity on LSB 38, but it has been tame compared to the pile-ups that are all too common. I've called out on LSB 16 a few times, but have not gotten any responses, nor have I heard any other stations there.

The propagation forecast for today, September 9th for the 12 to 10 meter bands is "GOOD". We'll need to put that to the test on our usual schedule today and tomorrow.

Solar storm fears rise as CME heads for Solar Orbiter; Blackouts hit America after solar flare

The chances of a massive solar storm striking the Earth have increased after the last 24 hours as a solar flare eruption sparked a radio blackout over the American continents and a CME is just about to strike the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, which can be dangerous.

I am happy to see a little more skip happening. I made contact, ever so breifly with St.Thomas, USVI! And I also heard the guy in Stutgard, Germany!

 

[Rick330man]

There is activity on LSB 38 this afternoon, but it isn't the dreaded pile-up. There is some background activity on both LSB 16 and USB 40. However, I haven't heard any stations looking to make DX contacts. I'll try again now at 4:00P.M. eastern, but the Miami vs. Texas A & M game will get my undivided attention after that.

Nothing on my side this morning. What a difference from yesterday.
