I came across information about a “Turkey Day Net” on qrz.com (https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/turkey-day-net-tdn-2019.677706/). If you want to get away from visiting relatives for a bit, perhaps try seeing if you can reach them!
Looks like they start at 1600 UTC (9am Mountain) and are on the following frequencies (+/- if already in use): 10m-28.450, 15m-21.310, 20m-14.245, 40m-7.200
They will be posting updates on the above URL, so check there for more info.
If you don’t have an HF radio, you can always try listening on one of the free web-based SDRs! Check out https://sdr.hu/ and http://websdr.org/ for receivers located around the world.
You can also just try reaching out on the LARC repeaters (including via Echolink), to see if anyone’s around.
Happy Thanksgiving!

I just filed my Reply Comments in RM-11829… they ARCS Initiative and Tyro License.
I have attached a copy hoping we can get it on our website in a prominent place. When I get back from Iceland, I will put the LARC and Ron Collins comments (and some others) in a package so we can get the on the website too.
All the comments for this proceeding can be viewed and downloaded on the FCC website. An easy way to find them is to Google: FCC RM-11829 they should appear.
