IRLP - Keeping the Radio in Amateur Radio

A number of people were asking for information regarding when nets are run on the various IRLP reflectors.  This information has been extracted from the IRLP Nets list on Yahoo Groups.  Please note that I am assuming all times to be UTC, as this is not specified in the email.  If your net is run on local time, please let me know and I'll make the necessary adjustments.  New listings or recent changes are in boldface.
If you run a net which isn't listed here, by all means, please let me know.  And if you're considering setting up a net, please contact the reflector owner before announcing your intentions.
You can also contact me via MSN Messenger - add rodtempleton@gmail.com to your contacts. 

September 28: The VK8 net is unfortunately no longer running.

July 9: My apologies for the lack of updates lately. I'm working on getting caught up and should have the rest of the updates posted in the next day or so.

May 18: A number of new changes today. My apologies if you sent in updates/notifications awhile ago that are just appearing today.

April 5: The New Zealand Emergency Communications Net runs the first and third Sunday of the month at 0830 UTC on 9215.

April 4: KD8DLA had a positive experience on the N.A. Handshaker's Net. Good to hear, and thanks for the link.
