06-15-2026 - 5:30 AM - Good Morning! It’s Monday, a day of varying importance to various individuals. If you have a shortwave radio, you might find interest in the Maritime Mobile Service Net on 14.300 MHz. The purpose of the net, to quote their website, is “… that of handling legal third party traffic from maritime mobiles, both pleasure, and commercial, and overseas-deployed military personnel. We also help missionaries in foreign countries, and volunteer net control stations from throughout North America and the Caribbean maintain the network.” You can hear the net from 12:00 noon to 8:00 PM CDT. Another net of interest during hurricane season is the Hurricane Watch Net. You’ll find the net on 14.325 MHz as needed. My Folgers Black Silk Coffee is ready.
