Jimmy,

 JA> Yep! Same here! Have too many interests and not nearly enough time. :-)

  That's the same thing with ham radio traffic nets...too many nets,
and too little time.

  Back in 2006, I started a page on Echolink Nets...but several months
ago, in noting that the nets page at dstarinfo.com had quite a bit of
outdated info, I started a list of D-Star and D-Rats Nets...to go with
the Echolink Nets. Then, I added links to CQ100, DMR, D-Star HF,
Hamsphere, and recently discovered "Christian Nets".

  The list is about evenly split between D-Star and Echolink Nets,
with a few D-Rats nets for good measure. You can get a copy of it at
https://www.theweatherwonder.com/elk.htm -- it's the first entry on
the page. There are nearly 150 nets in that file...if that doesn't
satisfy these "net hoppers", nothing will.

  It got to be such a mad rush on checkins, that I'm on the air only
for nets that I run, and a few selected other nets. If I can't run a
net due to weather, internet, or health issues, I try to get someone
else to take Net Control. But, for the others, if I don't feel like
checking into them, I don't...and I don't lose any sleep over it.

Daryl, WX4QZ
