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.

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

Meets On: The QuadNet Array
Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ
Alternate Net Control: Paul Frey, K9PTF
Net Time: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific
Comments: The only requirement to checkin, is that you're a licensed
amateur radio operator, with privileges to transmit on D-Star, DMR,
WIRES, Fusion, or D-Rats.

The net is done in honor of its predecessor, that ran on Echolink in
the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area for over 8 years...and is in loving
memory of my late uncle, K3VRM, for giving me my love of ham radio,
and trains. He was the only other ham radio operator in my family,
and the youngest engineer ever hired on by the Penn Central Railroad.

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 D-Star Trains And Railroads Net 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".

A commemorative certificate, in PDF format, is available, after ones
first checkin to the net. But, to get it, you must send an email request
to the Conductor (WX4QZ) at either wx4qz@arrl.net or wx4qz@winlink.org

The net discusses anything and everything about trains and railroading, including passenger, freight, steam, diesel, excursions, depots, signals, fallen flags, rolling stock, railroad shows, street running, museums,
light rail, trolley, etc. There is also a railroad trivia question during
the net, and there is no penalty if you don't know the answer.

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.

Go to www.qcwa.org for more details. This becomes 1997 or earlier as
of Jan. 1, 2022.

While it's on the same frequency as the 20 meter HF Net (14.347 Mhz), this
net is on CQ100, and NOT on RF. That net is at 2000 UTC every Sunday. Plus,
the CQ100 is for ALL licensed amateur radio operators who have a CQ100 membership. The 20 meter HF net requires hams to have a General Class or
higher amateur radio license. QCWA Membership is NOT REQUIRED to checkin
to ANY of their nets.

CQ100 is $39 a year, with a 30 day free trial for new CQ100 Users. Usage
is free from 0000 to 2359 UTC on Sunday. Paid Members also get the QSO-TV add-on for sending pictures over CQ100. You can do voice and digital with CQ100, including Morse Code, PSK31, etc. It simulates RF operation on
several HF bands, but no RF actually occurs...so, it's classed as a
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) mode.

Go to www.qcwa.org for more details.

While it's on the same frequency as the 20 meter HF Net (14.347 Mhz), this
net is on CQ100, and NOT on RF. That net is at 2000 UTC every Sunday. Plus,
the CQ100 is for ALL licensed amateur radio operators who have a CQ100 membership. The 20 meter HF net requires hams to have a General Class or
higher amateur radio license. QCWA Membership is NOT REQUIRED to checkin
to ANY of their nets.

CQ100 is $39 a year, with a 30 day free trial for new CQ100 Users. Usage
is free from 0000 to 2359 UTC on Sunday. Paid Members also get the QSO-TV add-on for sending pictures over CQ100. You can do voice and digital with CQ100, including Morse Code, PSK31, etc. It simulates RF operation on
several HF bands, but no RF actually occurs...so, it's classed as a
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) mode.

Net Name: Trains And Railroads Net
Meets On: The QuadNet Array
Net Control: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ
Alternate Net Control: Paul Frey, K9PTF
Net Time: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific

Comments: The only requirement to checkin, is that you're a licensed
amateur radio operator, with privileges to transmit on D-Star, DMR, or
Fusion.

The net is done in honor of its predecessor, that ran on Echolink in
the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area for over 8 years...and is in loving
memory of my late uncle, K3VRM, for giving me my love of ham radio,
and trains. He was the only other ham radio operator in my family,
and the youngest engineer ever hired on by the Penn Central Railroad.

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, or Fusion. Go to
https://openquad.net for connection options.

2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org).

3) Via the D-Star Trains And Railroads Net Facebook Page.

4) Via email to wx4qz@arrl.net

Checkin methods 3 and 4 will automatically be noted as a "flag stop"
(short time) checkin.

There is no penalty if you don't know the answer to the railroad trivia.
And, if you get it right, you get the satisfaction of doing so. Also,
net participants are welcome to email the Conductor (item 4 above)
with a main and a bonus railroad trivia question. That will be forwarded
to the Brakeman, Paul Frey, K9PTF...or the contributor can read the
question, and keep tally on who got the answer right or wrong. They will
be given credit for the question, but will need to stay on the net until
the round of final comments begins.
