Nets for Echolink, D-Star, and D-Rats -- UALR Ham Radio Club Exam Info -- Plus Other Files


To return to the previous page, press the BACK BUTTON on your web browser. This page, and the appropriate files, were last updated July 13, 2025.

Originally designed as a page for Echolink Nets, courtesy of The Millennium Net (the page was started in March, 2006...the net went QRT (offline) as of August, 2020) I have decided to update the page with an information overview, and just links for these files.

Note: For information on upcoming amateur radio license exam sessions at the University Of Arkansas At Little Rock (UALR), sponsored by the UALR Ham Radio Club, in Little Rock, Arkansas, click here. The information file was last updated June 18, 2025...and the date a particular file/link noted below was last updated is noted with the particular file/link.


You'll need either Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice, OpenOffice for the Excel files from this page...all the rest of the files are viewable with any PDF viewer. If there is no notation, the file is PDF.

For much of the United States, Standard Time is from the first Sunday in November to the Second Sunday in March, with Daylight Savings Time otherwise. For a Users Guide for the list, choose item 14 below. For a guide on converting UTC time to a different time zone, click here. UTC Time is based on the time at the Greenwich Meridian in England.

Thanks to Gary, VA3GDZ, for the original net list spreadsheet.

Lastly, another hobby that I'm involved with, square dancing, had a post from a publication called ''The Sets In Order'' back in March, 1966... on ''15 Ways To Kill Your Square Dance Club''. I've modified this for ''15 Ways To Kill Your Ham Radio Club''. Obviously, I do NOT recommend doing ANY of these...but clubs (no matter the hobby) who have these (or similar items) going on, the sad fact is that the future existence of their club...and the associated hobby...is in grave danger. You can obtain that file here.

Files updated in the last 30 days are listed in GREEN...those updated since the first of the year are listed in PURPLE...and those updated prior to the first of the year are listed in RED.
