Try dx sherlock. Look at the map and list.. I hope you enjoy the magic band. 
Hang around 50.125 ...You will find something. Mike N5TYW

I understand and can read a band chart..... what I was really asking, where 
might anybody on this list be congregating.  That was the main intention of 
the message. :)

So far as I type this, I only have 3 contacts.  6 meters is quiet as hell. 
So is 2m (ssb and fm simplex portions) and also 70cm (ssb and fm simplex 
portions.)   As quiet as a ghost town around here in Michigan.
