You can find the 7.290 traffic net on 7.290. Based in Texas they handle traffic for and from all over the country. I’m not sure about the times except you can find it in the morning at around 9:00am central time.
20 meters
On 14.300 mornings prior to 10am central time you can find the intercontinental net.
After 10 am you can find the maritime mobile net. This net takes all check-ins, however they really exist to assist folks on the high seas. You never know when a ship might have a message for your area so tuning in never hurts.
14.650 in the event of emergencies you might find a SATERN (salvation army team emergency radio service) net. Also on 7.265 (40 meters) and 3.977.7 (80 meters).
There are many nets out there. Tune around the bands and find the nets that you like. Check in and have fun with this ham hobby.
