• My Sunday Nets

    From Daryl Stout@618:250/33 to All on Sun Mar 28 10:19:25 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.

    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 on The QuadNet Array utilize the modes of D-Star, DMR, WIRES, and

    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 normally start early checkins 15 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.

    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.
