On checkins, please advise if you are "Short Time", or want to be just
"Listen Only". If either is the case, once ackowledged, you can secure
your station at your leisure, and go on your way.
Methods to checkin are as follows:
1) On the QuadNet Array, via D-Star, DMR+, TGIF, WIRES-X, or Fusion.
Go to openquad.net for connection options.
2) Via the IM Utility with Netlogger (netlogger.org). Those stations that connect then drop are noted as NO RESPONSE.
3) Via the D-Star Trains And Railroads Net Facebook page.
4) Via email to
[email protected] or
[email protected]
5) Via APRS with a quick note to N5VLZ-10
6) Via Ham.Live
Checkin methods 3-5 are automatically noted as "short time". Stations have until 1pm US Central Time on Saturday to checkin via email or via the
Facebook group.
There is no penalty if you don't know the answer to the railroad trivia.
And, if you get it right, you get the satisfaction of doing so.
Lastly, first time checkins are eligible for a commemorative certificate
in PDF format, but it's available via email request/delivery only.
