How many Ham Radio operators out there reading this echo?? Please Check

I only operate "internet radio", due to "antenna prohibitions" at the
QTH. Many of the residents (either elderly or disabled) have medical
devices that could be negatively affected by RFI, and the law of
entropy...not to mention that they do inspections out here, and one
can't have antennas or coaxial cable.

Please Post some of your nets as well.. I also like to do dstar stuff..

You can get a list of any or all of these files:

1) Selected D-Star Nets
2) Selected D-Rats Nets
3) Getting Started In D-Star and D-Rats

by emailing me at wx1der at gmail dot com -- and asking for those
files. They are all in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. I started the first 2,
because several nets at www.dstarinfo.com had out of date information.

The nets I run each week are noted below, with notes. Also, for the
net times, they are the same year round, but PT is the same as MST when
the rest of the U.S. is on Daylight Savings Time.

***

* Southeast US D-Star Weather Net, Sunday, 9pm ET/8pm CT/7pm MT/6pm PT Reflector 4A. If Reflector 4A is unusuable, the net is on Reflector 30A.

We take checkins from the southeast states of Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas first...then open it up to everybody. 30
minutes prior to the start of the net, D-Rats checkins from anywhere are
taken at sewx.ratflector.com -- those are temporarily suspended once the
net starts, but resumed after the advisories and announcements, and
taken until the net is closed.

* Arklatex D-Star Net, Tuesday, 8:30pm ET/7:30pm CT/6:30pm MT/5:30pm PT Reflector 48 B.

Early checkins start 30 minutes prior to the start of the net...taken
both on Reflector 48 B, and in the Arklatex D-Star Group on Facebook.

* C.E.R.T. Net, Thursday, 9:30pm ET/8:30pm CT/7:30pm MT/6:30pm PT
Reflector 58A.

For the C.E.R.T. Net (Community Emergency Response Team), I'm usually
Net Control on the first Thursday and backup every other Thursday. One
does not have to be a C.E.R.T. member to check into the net.

* New Mexico D-Star Net, Thursday, 10pm ET/9pm CT/8pm MT/7pm PT
Reflector 55A.

For the New Mexico D-Star Net, I'm usually Net Control on the second
Thursday, but sometimes have to swap with other Net Controls on the
other Thursdays. There's usually a different net control each week.
Checkins are also taken on D-Rats at ae5he.ratflector.com

* D-Star Trains And Railroads Net, Friday, 8pm ET/7pm CT/6pm MT/5pm PT Reflector 26A.

We discuss anything and everything about trains and railroading. You
don't have to be a current or former railroad employee to checkin...just
a railfan who loves trains. It is done in honor of its predecessor that
ran on RF and Echolink in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, for over 8
years...and in loving memory of my late uncle, K3VRM, who gave 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. First time checkins who provide an email to me (at the address noted earlier in this post), will receive a commemorative
certificate, designed by Paul, K9PTF (who also does a Railroad Trivia
Question each week). The certificate is in Adobe Acrobat PDF format.

I first messed with Drats when I got my DStar.. Fill me in on this net... MR>I've been having problems with 1C.. my callsign got mucked up in the MR>registration system.. I can get into the AZ reflector pretty good..

Let me answer the registration process first.

Go to www.dstarinfo.com and look for the D-Star Registration Link. You
can check on your status, and register in the system if you're not
already. It's much easier than going through an individual system...like
I had to do ...and I registered through the W4LET system in Memphis.

Second, they've had a lot of problems with Reflector 1 at times. I
know that the Illinois D-Star Net is on REF 1B on Wednesday at 9pm
Central Time -- Milt, K9QZI, is usually the Net Control. Also, the International D-Star Net is on REF 1C at 7pm on Sunday. That is the
oldest net in D-Star, and some nights, they can have 150 checkins from
all over the world, and it can least 5 hours, if not longer.

Third, if you want a list of D-Star and D-Rats Net files, or a guide
in getting started in D-Star and D-Rats, email me at wx1der at gmail dot
com -- and I will get them to you. All require the Adobe Acrobat Reader
to view. I started the files, as a lot of the nets at www.dstarinfo.com
had out of date information. A few of the D-Star Nets also do checkins
via D-Rats...but that's more the exception than the rule.

I started my interest at 12. I'm 51 I too could not get the code.. I have be MR>trying but loose interest quickly. I have a ticket now for over 10 years. MR>Really enjoyed general class test.. But can't grasp extra.. I learned mine MR>waiting at the pipeline to load everyday. It is never too late... Try HamTe MR>Online. I was on panel that signed people that passed the test.. There was a MR>year old that passed in one of our test sessions.

I used HamTestOnline myself...signing up for it almost 5 months after
the FCC dropped the Morse Code requirement...and almost 3 months after
my wife died. Studying 2 hours a day for 2 weeks, I went from Technician
to General in 14 days...and from General to Amateur Extra only 13 days
later. It was THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT in ham radio.
