Reclaim LSB 16

[AmericanEagle575]

UN-OFFICIAL WWDX DECEMBER 13th-14th SSB CB NET:

Saturday, LSB 16 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific.

Sunday, USB 40 from noon eastern/11:00AM central/9:00A.M. pacific until 6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific.

Looking forward to it, I'll be monitoring 40 USB that Sunday since it's my day off work and hopefully make some contacts with fellow WWDX forum members out there if Conditions cooperates!!!!!

This is a new effort to reinvigorate an old theme.

Some of you will recall the pre-40 channel days. Back then, the unofficial SSB hailing frequency was LSB 16. LSB 38 has taken over since pretty much the day we went to 40 channels, but it gets too crowded. And it isn't too uncommon to have someone on LSB 38 running so much power that they distort and splash across several channels. Another problem is the occasional idiot - like the one on there right now playing an air raid siren.

With skip propagation apparently improving, I say we try to bring back LSB 16. At the very least, it will provide a relief valve for LSB 38. At best, we may get a less crowded alternative for making DX contacts. I propose we try to get the ball rolling by aiming to make contact on the following schedule:

Saturday, June 5th
12:00 noon eastern/11:00 A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific

3:00P.M. eastern/2:00P.M. central/noon pacific

6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific

9:00P.M. eastern/8:00P.M. central/6:00P.M. pacific

Sunday, June 6th
12:00 noon eastern/11:00 A.M. central/9:00A.M. pacific

3:00P.M. eastern/2:00P.M. central/noon pacific

6:00P.M. eastern/5:00P.M. central/3:00P.M. pacific

9:00P.M. eastern/8:00P.M. central/6:00P.M. pacific

Thoughts?

I would love to reclaim 16 lower side. I have three really good side band 23 channel radios one is a Johnson 352 that I put brand new for like $340 or something like that and I have two Lafayette side band radio they don’t work as good as the Johnson but the Johnson here is really good talks really good but there’s nobody on 16 to talk to. I’ve looked a couple times doesn’t seem to happen anymore and I’m in New York Metropolitan area.
