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 Dec. 14, 2025...and the date a
particular file/link noted below was last updated is noted with the particular file/link.
Unfortunately, I discovered that the utility that I have was NOT exporting the LibreOffice or Excel Spreadsheet file for any other time zone, EXCEPT US Eastern Time. As a result, certain nets were being left off the list (thanks to Morrighan, KF4FTP, for bringing this glitch to my attention). So, I have deleted the other files, and gone with the US Eastern Time Zone file ONLY. For a guide on converting UTC time to a different time zone, click here. Or you can download this file. UTC Time is based on the time at the Greenwich Meridian in England. Thanks to Gary, VA3GDZ, for the original net list spreadsheet. 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 10 below.
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.

Thanks to the acquisition of a SharkRF OpenSpot 4 Pro, I can do D-Star, NXDN, Fusion, and other modes. Echolink,
CQ200, and D-Rats, are accessed with their separate programs.
