Announcements:
• New 80M net now in operation
• Hamvention 2017
• National Amateur Radio Field Day, June 2-25, 2017

Net Control reports one of the slowest nets experienced to date, but under poor band conditions and varying signal strengths. The 66th Annual Armed Forces Day Cross-Band Test was also conducted this day, May 13, which may have drawn hams away from the net.
