Tried calling out but nothing. Just some guy yelling “audio”. Gonna try again.

Tried a few times. Of course, there is alot of bleedover on every channel. I will keep trying from time to time.

Had a great contact with Shadetree Mechanic this morning but nothing after that. I was on 16 at the top of the hour for about 10 minutes until around 4:00 and heard nothing besides some bleed over. I had great success on 37 and 39 lsb, booming into the northeast with no problem. Didn't spend any time on 38.

I'm glad we have some success to show for our efforts. Do we want to try on a regular basis?

As the skip cycle benefits from increased sun spot activity, LSB 38 is going to be a mess. Having an LSB 16 option will get us to an alternate hailing frequency folks can rally around and give us some separation from the bleed-over the high power stations on LSB 38 can generate.

I'll be doing some seriously long driving hours Tuesday and Wednesday. If folks want to try again, I'm game.

I have been trying off and on for some time since I first saw this thread. I will keep trying from time to time.

[Holydvr]

Still heavy skip here as of 10 min ago. Alot of bleedover. Had to shut down due to lightning.

I also wanted mention that I heard 226 explaining to a couple of stations what we're trying to do and telling folks about WWDX. Maybe we'll get a few new members for WWDX out of this?

Jeff it was really nice hearing you out there in California it sounded good.
I'm on this thread now and I'll check in 16 LSB when I can.

I tried many times throughout the weekend but no luck. Only thing I heard was static and mexicans or bleedover. Conditions and location just wasn't in my favor but I'll try again next weekend.

That's when me and undertaker were on. Conditions were all over the place then. He was talking to Jeff up in Yosemite, then I connected with a couple of guys in the northeast. I had asked if they were members of WWDX, then had to explain. One of the guys sounded surprised he hadn't heard of the forums.

I'll keep trying 16 occasionally and see what happens. Undertaker gets out a lot better than I do, so he'll be a good source of information.
