  Thanks for reminding everyone Mark...

  Don't forget to check after dark as well. Many of us tend to forget about 20/15/10 meters when it gets dark and those bands are usually dead. I remember the 10 meter contest a few years ago (because this was the weekend my 3 year old girl was born) I had come home from being at the hospital with my wife and I just happened to turn on the radio to see if anyone was on. Tha band turned out to be full of stations in the east coast and midwest and it was midnight !!

 Over this past Xmas holiday I just happened to tune 10 meters one night and W1AW was booming in. I called CQ but no one knew the band was open so I spotted myself and work some guys on the east coast. Just for fun I tuned down to 15 meters and W1AW was booming in on that band as well. In fact I could hear the W1AW code practice on all the bands except for 20 meters. How often does that happen ?
