Subj : My Saturday Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Aug 22 2020 00:01:20 You can find yours truly, Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, on this net today. A list of all the nets that I can be found on during the week is at https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm -- look for the link that notes "Nets Where WX4QZ is Net Control". Nets on The QuadNet Array utilize the modes of D-Star, DMR, WIRES, and System Fusion, together on one site. Go to https://www.openquad.net for details, and connection options. All times are in the US Time Zones. I normally start early checkins 30 minutes prior to the start of the net. If I am unable to make it, due to weather, health, internet, or other issues, I will try to get a backup Net Control. Note that for nets where I'm "checkin only", these are with weather, health, internet, and schedule permitting...and these are not guaranteed. *** Saturday: Net Name: The Virus Net Meets On: Reflector 29A -- also on the WA7DRE Ratflector on D-Rats Net Control: Varies Each Day Net Time: 10am Eastern, 9am Central, 8am Mountain, 7am Pacific Comments: The Digital Radio Enthusiasts Morning Net, Saturday Edition. This is due to COVID-19 shutting down area restaurants, so that removed the Saturday Morning Breakfasts in the Spokane area. As a result, this net is meeting on Saturday mornings...sort of a "fertilizer net" for those "having cabin fever". Note: This is an optional net checkin for WX4QZ. *** Net Name: Multimode Digital Voice Net Meets On: The QuadNet Array Net Control: Jeff Bishop, VE6DV Net Time: 6pm Eastern, 5pm Central, 4pm Mountain, 3pm Pacific Comments: Checkins are taken via the QuadNet Array, or via the NetLogger program. On checkins, please advise if you are "short time". If that's the case, once ackowledged, you can secure your station at your leisure. The net can last 2 hours, and all digital modes are discussed. Note: This is an optional checkin net for WX4QZ. *** Net Name: The Food Net (3rd Saturday Only) Meets On: The QuadNet Array Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ Alternate Net Control: Steven Reiners, KC9SIO Net Time: 9pm Eastern, 8pm Central, 7pm Mountain, 6pm Pacific Comments: H.A.M. stands for "Have Another Meal", and you don't call us "Late For Dinner". The two things ham radio operators (and everyone else, for that matter) love to do, are TALK and EAT. So, the net discusses things like recipes, cuisines, meals, restaurants, ways to prepare foods, etc. On checkins, please advise if you are "short time". If that's the case, once ackowledged, you can secure your station at your leisure. Methods to checkin are as follows: 1) On the QuadNet Array, via D-Star, DMR, WIRES, or Fusion. Go to https://openquad.net for connection options. 2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org). 3) On the St. Tammany Ratflector (sttammany.ratflector.com) on D-Rats. Thanks to Glen Strecker, KG5CEN, for the use of the ratflector. 4) Via the Digital D-Star Food Net Facebook Page. 5) Via email to either wx4qz@arrl.net or wx4qz@winlink.org Checkin methods 3, 4, and 5, will automatically be noted as "short time". *** Net Name: Iowa D-Star Net Meets On: Reflector 53A Net Control: Virginia Oliver, KC5SAM Net Time: 9:30pm Eastern, 8:30pm Central, 7:30pm Mountain, 6:30pm Pacific Comments: While originating in Minnesota, and for Iowa Stations, all ham radio operators with D-Star privileges are welcome to checkin to the net. If The Food Net (where I'm Net Control) doesn't last too long, I try to checkin to this net. Note: This is an optional checkin net for WX4QZ. *** Net Name: Saturday Night D-Star Net Meets On: Reflector 29A and on the WA7DRE Ratflector on D-Rats Net Control: Varies Each Week. Net Time: 10pm Eastern, 9pm Central, 8pm Mountain, 7pm Pacific Comments: While originating in Washington State, all licensed amateur radio operators with privileges to transmit on D-Star or D-Rats, are welcome to checkin to the net. I'm a regular checkin to the net. Note: This is an optional checkin net for WX4QZ. *** --- SBBSecho 3.11-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net (454:1/33) .
