Jimmy,

  Yeah, I think that's it.

  Right now, I'm just doing QWK Mail, and playing 2 of the "Casino Doors"
on the BBS, and that's it. Thunderstorms will be in here later today, so
I'm up early to do my BBS work...and having an IBS attack overnight didn't
help matters.

 JA> TRUE!

  It used to be where you had to log a minimum number of hours in ham
radio to keep your license...as well as keeping a log. Both of those
requirements went away long ago.

  As for myself, I'm on the air for several nets during the week, including:

1) QCWA Digital Net on Sunday afternoon
2) Hotspot Raspberry Pi SBC ZumSpot Net Monday evening
3) Arklatex D-Star Net Tuesday evening
4) QCWA CQ100 Net Friday morning
5) Trains Net Friday evening
6) Food Net the 3rd Saturday afternoon. 

  Except for the Arklatex D-Star Net and the QCWA CQ100 Net, I'm on the
QuadNet Array (openquad.net) with D-Star, DMR, WIRES-X, and Fusion. I
usually start early checkins 30 minutes to an hour before the net, then
the nets run 30 to 60 minutes...sometimes longer.

  It's rare I just checkin to another net anymore...for the massive
pile-up of checkins at the start of the net. I might as well wait until
the net is about over.
