Subj : My Sunday Nets To : All From : Daryl Stout Date : Sun Jul 26 2020 00:01:32 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 https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm -- 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. I normally start early checkins 30 minutes prior to the start of the net. If I am unable to make it, due to weather, health, internet, or other issues, I will try to get a backup Net Control. Note that for nets where I'm "checkin only", these are with weather, health, internet, and schedule permitting...and these are not guaranteed. *** Sunday: Net Name: Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) Net. Meets On: The QuadNet Array Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ Alternate Net Control: Mike Sturm, KA2E Net Time: 5pm Eastern, 4pm Central, 3pm Mountain, 2pm 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 years 1995 (as of 2020) 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, System Fusion, or D-Rats. On checkins, please advise if you are "short time". If that's the case, once ackowledged, you can secure your station at your leisure. You can also checkin on D-Rats at sttammany.ratflector.com (port 9000). Thanks to Glen, KG5CEN, for letting us use the St. Tammany Ratflector, and to the admins of THe QuadNet Array for letting us use their system. You can also checkin on the QCWA Group on Facebook, or send an email to either wx4qz@arrl.net or wx4qz@winlink.org -- the email, Facebook, and D-Rats checkins will be noted as "short time". *** Net Name: Young Operators Digital Voice Net Meets On: The QuadNet Array Net Control: Danielle Eddington, KE8JNU Net Time: 7pm Eastern, 6pm Central, 5pm Mountain, 4pm Pacific Comments: Danielle earned her Technician License just before Hamvention in 2009...then a month after Hamvention, upgraded to General, then to Amateur Extra a month later...all when she was only 9 years old!! Her parents, Dan, N8YMD, and Cindy, KE8JNT, are very supportive of their daughter. The net encourages young people to checkin...either as a licensed ham radio operator, or as third party traffic. *** Net Name: KB0ZSG International D-Star Net Meets On: Reflector 1C Net Control: Steven Reiners, KC9SIO Net Time: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific Comments: The net was originally started by the late Connie Ballantyne, KB0ZSG (SK), who lost her battle with breast cancer in early 2020. Steven Reiners, KC9SIO, has taken over the net in her memory, to keep the legacy alive of "The Queen Of D-Star". Connie was Net Control for the net for several years before becoming ill. I understand she had the best hugs and the best cookies. She is sorely missed. The net can last over 5 hours, and have well over 100 checkins, from the US, Canada, and around the world. --- * Synchronet * The Thunderbolt BBS - tbolt.synchro.net * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (618:250/1) .
