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. 

February 6: The 53.310 Swap & Ragchew Net has moved to Reflector 9669.

February 5: The Cross Canada IRLP Net takes place Wednesdays at 1600UTC on node 9013.

January 28: The listing for the Manitoba net has been updated to reflect it taking place on Reflector 9205.
