• My Saturday Nets

    From Daryl Stout@618:250/33 to All on Sat Mar 27 08:10:04 2021
    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
    1 hour 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.

    Net Name: The Food Net (3rd Saturday Only)
    Meets On: The QuadNet Array
    Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ
    Alternate Net Control: Steven Reiners, KC9SIO
    Net Time: 4pm Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, 1pm Pacific
    Comments: NOTE THE REVISED NET TIME, EFFECTIVE APRIL 17, 2021.

    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, etc.

    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) On the QuadNet Array, via D-Star, DMR, WIRES, or Fusion. Go to https://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 either wx4qz@arrl.net or wx4qz@winlink.org

    Checkin methods 3 and 4 will automatically be noted as "short time".

    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.

    I'm now starting early checkins 30 minutes prior to the start of the
    net...as it has become too hard to sit at the computer for 3 hours (to
    start setup 90 minutes before the net, start checkins an hour before
    the net, run the net which can last an hour or so, then do screenshots
    and send off logs in 30 minutes afterwards). Even with a walker next to
    me, if I sit too long, I become a "fall risk".

    Many nets do NOT have pre-net checkin windows. If we don't get your
    checkin, we'll get you logged another day and time. There are other
    things in life besides checking into a ham radio traffic net.

    If I'm unable to make it, due to weather, health, internet, or other
    issues, I'll try to get a backup Net Control...but that can't always occur...and if that happens, the net just doesn't run that week. Also,
    if on a particular reflector, if the National Weather Service is using
    it for Skywarn Severe Weather operations, the net is automatically
    cancelled.

    Nets on the Kansas Wide Fusion Net utilitze the modes of D-Star, DMR, Echollink, Fusion, P25, and WIRES-X. For more details and connection
    options, go to https://www.kansascityroom-wide.com

    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.

    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".
