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, sponsored by the UALR Ham Radio Club,
click here. The test session information file was last updated Nov. 6, 2026...and the date that
a particular file/link that's noted below was last updated, is noted with the entry.
Thanks to Gary, VA3GDZ, for the original net list spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, with problems that developed with the multi-time zone spreadsheet, and the exporting of one file to individual US Time zones, data got royally
skewed. So, since the ham radio contests are on UTC Time, I've switched the list to be based on that instead . A PDF
file with a Time Zone Conversion Utility is in item #5 below. 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.
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, and the M1KE,
plus the QSO One app, and finally figuring out how to work DMR and TGIF with the BlueDV For Windows,
as well as using Echolink, CQ200, and D-Rats, I'm available via several
different modes, and sked requests are welcome.
