Actually, no need to be quiet. 6 and 10 meter sideband have been very active; I can say for the last two nights that 10 meters has been lit up like 20 meters usually is on a Saturday afternoon. I have heard a lot of traffic out of North and East; Michigan and Virginia were some of my contacts of the last two days. Also heard some folks talking back and forth in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
I also had the pleasure of checking in to the 6 Meter Simplex net over in Joplin this evening; great net over there! This coming Monday we will start the Monday Night Net out on the 6 meter repeater to hopefully allow our friends from farther out to join us again. We will probably transition back over to simplex at some point thereafter.
Thanks as always to everyone who has been taking time out to visit on Monday Night!!!

HF Events Forthcoming
Just wanted to post a few quick announcements (Jeff reminded me we have this website for a reason hi hi).
This Saturday in Nixa the Nixa Sucker Days will feature HF radio this year, courtesy of the Nixa Amateur Radio Club (thanks to Jim, KC0IYI and the group helping). They will be operating on several HF bands; 3.850, 7.250, 14.250 and 21.350. Expect them to be on the air around 8AM Central Time on Saturday, May 17th - if you are in the area, stop in and see their booth and enjoy Sucker Days!
June 1st, 2008 - US Islands on the Air at Stockton Lake- The OMAR group will be setting up a HF station on Edge Island; will plan to operate on 14.250 - 14.260 "the official Island Corridor" as well as somewhere in the vicinity of 7.250. There will also be a picnic, all are invited to come out for some ham fellowship and HF fun. They would like an idea of how many to feed, so they would appreciate a call to Connie, KB0ZSG at 417-830-0336 for RSVP.
