One of the Wellness Net Check-ins, Tom KC9ZKA, left a message regarding the daily Wellness Net, and gave permission to post it here.

Net Schedules:

The regular ARES® statewide net meets the first and third Sundays of each month on 3.905 Mhz LSB at 4:30pm local time. If necessary, the alternate frequency is 7.230 Mhz LSB.

The ARE ® Statewide Digital Net will take place immediately following the Sunday HF nets, using the talkgroups listed below.

The Digital Voice Net has moved to Wednesday evenings at 8:00 pm Central time. You can check in using the Illinois-Link Talk Group, #31171.

The Illinois Link Talk Group is connected to WIRES-X Room 21565, DMR Talkgroup 31171, NXDN 31171, P25 31171, YSF Reflector Illinois Link 83132 , and on D-STAR XLX, DCS, AND XRF 334G and AllStar 42810

In addition to the usual net, we will conduct an informal 40M and 60M band check beginning at 4:10PM. At 4:10PM, we will call for stations on 7230 kHz. At 4:20PM, we will move to 60M, and repeat the call. The start frequency is 5403.5 kHz. (channel 5). If that frequency is busy, move up one to channel 1. If 1 is busy, then 2, etc., in that order. Remember, maximum power on 60M is 100 Watts ERP.
