  I have made an update to the PDF Mode Overview file on getting
started with D-Star, D-Rats, and the QuadNet Array, among other
modes.

  The main changes were to update the list of available ratflectors...
I removed several that were no longer online, and inserted a screenshot
of how they are configured in my D-Rats setup. I also removed a duplicate
entry in the listing, modified the entry for the Paulding Country Georgia
ARES Net, and added the Alaska Black Tie Net.

  You can get these by going to the hyperlink off of my bio on QRZ,
or you can connect to my D-Rats folder, and look for the filename
with Mode Overview in it.

  There are around 200 nets in the file...mostly D-Star, plus several
Echolink, and some D-Rats nets for good measure.

  I also discovered that I have Echolink setup correctly (with the
new version), and I was able to check into an Echolink Net earlier
tonight. However, the EchoAnswer Utility, an answering machine for
Echolink, is no longer available, and didn't work under Windows 10.
Plus, since my callsign was changed 2 1/2 years ago, the registration
key I have no longer works with it. I don't know if there's a comparable
program out there. I'm on Echolink only for nets and sked requests.
