Thank you for the current status update. It makes total sense and I see the need for multiple net controllers. Thank you for your effort in trying to keep the net going!

This is a great idea! Any idea what it would take to make this happen?

I have no idea at all and do not really have the time to learn & find out. But someone here definitely knows what we'd need to do! I access to a property with a 50' Ham tower that we could potentially set up as part of our net... Actually... now that I think of it, I have a friend I will just ask!

We just need a dedicated server running EchoLink connected to the internet… the server doesn’t even have to be able to connect to a radio.
Explorer I
Does all audio run through that server or just initial “connection” info? Wondering about throughput needs for such a server.

Well if that’s the case, perhaps I can just get a Raspberry Pi and leave it at that…

We could just have a Net via Pi-Star? Anyone else here running a Pi-Star? Pretty easy and cheap. It does the digital modes (YSF, DMR, D-Star, ...) and also can connects them together.

There is a DMR talkgroup called Venture Overland; Brandmeister TG 31655. Some good folks on there and it's run by AA1PR. They have a net at 0200z on Sundays. I'd suggest asking if Overland Bound could have a separate net on there, or perhaps even we could use this TG on our various adventures. I personally think it would be a great on-air meeting spot for fellow overlanders. DMR radios are cheap and very popular now, and hotspots as well as local DMR repeaters are quite common too.
DMR 31655 / ALLSTAR BRIDGE 54897 / P25 TG 31655 / WIRES-X 46720 / XLX303 H
DMR 31655 / ALLSTAR BRIDGE 54897 / P25 TG 31655 / WIRES-X 46720 / XLX303 H
I have quite a few setup. I am PNW Digitals network and BM for DMR. Did you have a TG in mind.

Any chance Overland Bound could get their own dedicated TG? I don't know what the procedure is, but as I said above, having one dedicated place for traveling overlanders would be a great thing IMHO.
Not really anything specific. I have been trying to check into the Outdoor 4x4 Net on Saturday at 1430CST TG31772, but have not been successful to date. I have been on GNG (Grits n Gravy) a couple of times, but mostly check into the WW (91) net on Saturdays and Techtalk on Tuesday nights,

You are welcome to restart the net on the original *USA-GNG* EchoLink server, they would be pleased to have us back.
I would also be also happy to run some of the Echolink nets, more so after the US changes to daylight savings as it puts the net, in my timezone (UTC+10), into Saturday afternoon instead of my Saturday morning a busy time with family activities.
I am not able to run it every week because I am spending more time in the outdoors than ever. Apart from being out of range a lot of the time I also have responsibilities (leading youth) during those days and cannot give the net my exclusive attention, although I would try and check in from some remote locations if I was able.
If you have questions, just ask.
