  Upon advice from Gary, VA3GDZ, I've updated the Excel Net List
Spreadsheet files of selected D-Star, Echolink, and D-Rats Nets,
in the 4 US time zones of Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific,
to highlight recently changed or added nets. These include:

1) New nets to the listing
2) Nets that have changed their day, time, or reflector
3) Corrections where I had information for the net wrong, such as
the time the net was scheduled.

  These are the same changes in the current PDF file noting such.

  Note that the UTC Times listed are ONE HOUR LATER when the US is
on Standard Time (from the 1st Sunday in November to the 2nd Sunday
in March). The UTC Time is based on the time at the Greenwich Meridian,
in England...hence it's sometimes referred to as GMT or Greenwich Mean
Time or Greenwich Meridian Time. UTC is "Universal Time Coordination",
but it's also referred to as Zulu Time or Z Time. Weather data is done
with Z Time, and ham radio contest times are noted in UTC Time.

  The Excel Net List Spreadsheets, along with PDF files can be obtained
by going to my bio on QRZ...and clicking on the first hyperlink noted. A
second hyperlink there will allow you to email me Feedback, or to report an
error in the net listing, to advise me of a new net, one that has changed
its day, time, or location, or one that has shut down.

  I would like to keep that listing as current as possible. There are at
least 200 nets that meet on a monthly basis...mostly D-Star, quite a few
Echolink, and some D-Rats nets for good measure. Note that is another
file with links to other net modes such as DMR, CQ100, AllStar, HamSphere,
Christian Related (for those wanting them), etc. I see no reason to do a
duplication of listings that are already out there. Note that I only take
responsibility for my Excel Net List Spreadsheets, but I depend on others
to advise me of any errors or changes that are needed.

  You are free to share and use this data, but I ask that personal
credit be given to Gary, VA3GDZ, who designed the template, and to
yours truly, who maintains the list. Lastly, check with the various
Net Controls, as last minute changes or cancellations can occur.
