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 the

WX4QZ is Net Control".

Times are noted in local US time, and in UTC (when the US is on Standard Time). Take note of the following caveats in regards to net times:
1) In the US, Standard Time is from the first Sunday in November, to the
2nd Sunday in March...with Daylight Savings Time the rest of the year.
2) UTC Time (noted when the US is on Standard Time) is ONE HOUR EARLIER
when the US is on Daylight Savings Time, as noted above.
3) Arizona, Hawaii, and the US territories are on Standard Time year
round. In this case, during Daylight Savings Time, their net times are
ONE HOUR EARLIER.
4) Confirm the net times with Net Control if you have questions.

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.
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 they hyperlink off of my QRZ bio. You will need
an appropriate PDF viewer to view/print the file.
For early checkins to the PCL Net (you can't make it), 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
You'll be granted a courtesy/early checkin.
Note that the net does NOT meet on the Mondays of weeks when these USA
holidays occur: Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Years Day.
