Subj : My Wednesday Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Wed Sep 22 2021 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 the hyperlink on my QRZ bio -- 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. During US Daylight Savings Time in the U.S., Pacific Time and Mountain Standard Time (Arizona stays on MST year round) are identical. I'm now starting early checkins 30 minutes prior to the start of the net...as it has become too hard to sit at the computer for 3 hours (to start setup 90 minutes before the net, start checkins an hour before the net, run the net which can last an hour or so, then do screenshots and send off logs in 30 minutes afterwards). Even with a walker next to me, if I sit too long, I become a "fall risk". Many nets do NOT have pre-net checkin windows. If we don't get your checkin, we'll get you logged another day and time. There are other things in life besides checking into a ham radio traffic net. If I'm unable to make it, due to weather, health, internet, or other issues, I'll try to get a backup Net Control...but that can't always occur...and if that happens, the net just doesn't run that week. Also, if on a particular reflector, if the National Weather Service is using it for Skywarn Severe Weather operations, the net is automatically cancelled. *** Wednesday: *** I currently do not run nets on Wednesday. --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
