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.

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.
