Subj : My Monday Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Mon Nov 29 2021 00:01:36 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. *** Monday: *** Net Name: PCL Packet Net Meets On: NS2B BBS, Penfield, New York Net Control: Bob Smith, NS2B Alternate Net Control/Scribe: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ Net Time: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific Comments: The PCL Net, which stands for "Patience And Chicken Lips", originally began on the N0KFQ BBS in Branson, Missouri in the early 1980's. Run by Sysop K.O. Higgs, N0KFQ, with his wife, Billie, KB0WSA, as Net Control, it was a full featured packet BBS, with RF and telnet access. After Billie's death a few years ago (K.O. died 2 years after she did), Bob, NS2B, moved the Net to his system, in Penfield, New York. The main requirement to checkin is being a licensed amateur radio operator, with privileges to transmit on packet, either VHF, HF, or Telnet. The net is in a roundtable format, with everyone typing data at their keyboard. Further details on the net are in the file PCL_NET.PDF -- which is available at they hyperlink off of my QRZ bio. You will need an appropriate PDF viewer to view/print the file. For early checkins to the PCL Net (you can't make it), please email: 1) Bob Smith, NS2B, at ns2b@arrl.net or ns2b@winlink.org OR 2) Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, at wx4qz@arrl.net or wx4qz@winlink.org You'll be granted a courtesy checkin. Note that the net does NOT meet on the Mondays of weeks when these USA holidays occur: Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day. *** Net Name: Hotspot, Raspberry Pi, Single Board Computer, and ZunSpot Net Meets On: The QuadNet Array Net Controls: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, and Steve Reiners, KC9SIO Net Time: 10pm Eastern, 9pm Central, 8pm Mountain, 7pm Pacific Comments: With the items noted in the net title being common in the shack with digital modes, this is designed as a Q&A Net, with checkins afterwards.
