     You can find yours truly, Daryl Stout, N5VLZ, 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   
   N5VLZ 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, M17, P25, and TGIF. For more details and connection   
   options, go to www.sunflowernet.us   
      
     With multiple modes on each of these, it's best to have several ways   
   to connect, in case one or more of these modes is down at net time.   
      
     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.   
      
   5) Last minute changes and cancellations can occur at any time.

   UTC Net Time: 2200 UTC Sunday during US Standard Time, 2100 UTC Sunday

   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 2000 (as of 2025) or earlier, and are currently   
   licensed, you can join the organization. Go to www.qcwa.org for more info.   
      
   The main requirement to checkin is being a licensed amateur radio operator,   
   with privileges to transmit on the modes offered by the QuadNet Array.   
      
   On checkins, please advise if you are "Short Time", or want to be just   
   "Listen Only". If either is the case, once ackowledged, you can secure   
   your station at your leisure, and go on your way.   
      
   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). Those stations who   
   connect then drop are noted as NO RESPONSE.   
      
   3) Via the QCWA Facebook Page.   
      
   4) Via email to n5vlz@arrl.net or vhfnetmanager@qcwa.org   
      
   5) Via APRS to N5VLZ-10   
      
   6) Via Ham.Live   
      
   Checkin methods 3-5 are noted as "short time". Email and Facebook checkins   
   will have until 10pm Monday, US Central Time, to post their checkin message   
   request. If the Sunday of the net is on the last day of the month, the   
   extended checkin window CLOSES at 4pm Monday, US Central Time, so I can   
   prepare my monthly report for the QCWA Journal, and send it in.   
      
   Note: If the ON AIR portion of the net has to be canceled due to storms   
   in my area, the email and Facebook checkins will be done as normal.
