• My Saturday Nets

    From Daryl Stout@954:895/7 to All on Sat Apr 15 00:01:22 2023
    Note: This info was updated on March 7, 2023.

    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

    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.

    Net Time: 10am Eastern, 9am Central, 8am Mountain, 7am 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 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

    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:

    On checkins, please advise if you are "short time", or would like to be

    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.

    The net is intentionally held during the "free window" on CQ200 from

    fee if they don't want to. First time users get a 90 day free trial,
    and once that ends, they can either pay the yearly fee to use it all
    they want, or take the "free option", with usage only from 0000 to 2359
    UTC on Sunday. The mode is VoIP ONLY (no RF), simulating usage on 80,
    40, 20, 15, and 10 meters. You can do voice and digital modes on any
    band.
