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.

Monday:

Net Name: PCL Packet Net
Meets On: NS2B BBS, Penfield, New York
Net Control: Bob Smith, NS2B
Alternate Net Control/Scribe: Daryl Stout, WX4QZ
Net Time: 8pm Eastern, 7pm Central, 6pm Mountain, 5pm Pacific
Comments: The PCL Net, which stands for "Patience And Chicken Lips",
originally began on the N0KFQ BBS in Branson, Missouri in the early
1980's. Run by Sysop K.O. Higgs, N0KFQ, with his wife, Billie, KB0WSA,
as Net Control, it was a full featured packet BBS, with RF and telnet
access. After Billie's death a few years ago (K.O. died 2 years after
she did), Bob, NS2B, moved the Net to his system, in Penfield, New York.
The main requirement to checkin is being a licensed amateur radio operator, with privileges to transmit on packet, either VHF, HF, or Telnet. If you
can't make the net, and you would like a courtesy checkin, please email:
1) Bob Smith, NS2B, at
ns2b@arrl.net or
ns2b@winlink.org OR
2) Daryl Stout, WX4QZ, at
wx4qz@arrl.net or
wx4qz@winlink.org
The net is in a roundtable format, with everyone typing data at their
keyboard. Further details on the net are in the file PCL_NET.PDF --
which is available at
https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm -- and
on The Thunderbolt BBS in the Ham Radio Files area. You will need an appropriate PDF viewer to view/print the file.

Comments: With the items noted in the net title being common in the

once ackowledged, you can secure your station at your leisure. Methods

https://openquad.net for connection options.
2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org).

Thanks to Glen Strecker, KG5CEN, for the use of the ratflector.
4) Via the Facebook Page.

wx4qz@arrl.net or
