Subj : My Saturday Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Sat Dec 03 2022 00:01:23 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, or 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. *** Saturday: *** Net Name: QCWA Sunflower Net Meets On: Go to www.sunflowernet.us for connection options. Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ Alternate Net Control: Lloyd Colston, KC5FM Net Time: 10am Eastern, 9am Central, 8am Mountain, 7am Pacific Comments: You do not have to be a member of the QCWA to check into the net. However, if you were first licensed as an amateur radio operator, anytime in the year 1997 (as of 2022) or earlier, and are currently licensed, you can join the organization. Go to www.qcwa.org for more details. The main requirement to checkin is being a licensed amateur radio operator, with privileges to transmit on D-Star, DMR, WIRES-X, or Fusion. 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) The Sunflower Network, via AllStar, D-Star, DMR, Echolink, Yaesu System Fusion, Hamshack Hotline, M17, P25, and TGIF. For connection options, go to www.sunflowernet.us 2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org). 3) Via the QCWA Facebook Page. 4) Via email to wx4qz@arrl.net Checkin methods 3 and 4 are automatically noted as "short time". They have until 24 hours after the net start time to checkin via those options. *** 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: 4pm Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, 1pm Pacific 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, or Fusion. Go to https://openquad.net for connection options. 2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org). 3) Via the Digital D-Star Food Net Facebook Page. 4) Via email to wx4qz@arrl.net Checkin methods 3 and 4 will automatically be noted as a "to-go" (short time) checkin". Due to personal scheduling conflicts that I have, this net meets on the 3rd Saturday of the month ONLY. I figured once a month was better than not doing the net at all. *** --- SBBSecho 3.15-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (454:1/33) .
