  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-X,
and Fusion, together on one site. Go to openquad.net for more details,
and connection options. Note that the QuadNet Array no longer offers
connections via Echolink, or Brandmeister via DMR.

  Nets on The Sunflower Network utilize the modes of AllStar, D-Star,
DMR, Echolink, Fusion, HamShack Hotline, M17, P25, and TGIF. For more
details and connection options, go to sunflowernet.us

  Times are noted in local US time, and in UTC (when the US is on Standard
Time). Take note of the following caveats in regards to net times:

1) In the US, Standard Time is from the first Sunday in November, to the
2nd Sunday in March...with Daylight Savings Time the rest of the year.

2) UTC Time (noted when the US is on Standard Time) is ONE HOUR EARLIER
when the US is on Daylight Savings Time, as noted above.

3) Arizona, Hawaii, and the US territories are on Standard Time year
round. In this case, during Daylight Savings Time, their net times are
ONE HOUR EARLIER.

4) Confirm the net times with Net Control if you have questions.

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 1998 (as of 2023) 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 modes offered by the
Sunflower Net.

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 10:30am Eastern, 9:30am Central, 8:30am Mountain, and 7:30am

Net Name: The Food Net
Meets On: The QuadNet Array
Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ

UTC Net Time: 2100 UTC Saturday during US Standard Time, 2000 UTC Saturday
the rest of the year.
US Net Time: 4pm Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, 1pm Pacific
NOTE: The net is on summer hiatus from Memorial Day through Labor Day.

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, culinary
topics, cookbooks, etc. Many topics come from The Food Network page on
Facebook.

On checkins, please advise if you are "short time", or would like to be
just "Listen Only". If either is 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+, TGIF, WIRES-X, or Fusion.
Go to 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 are automatically noted as "short time".
