  I logon to the NS2B BBS in Penfield, New York. It offers both RF and Telnet
access...plus it hosts "The PCL Net" every Monday at 7pm Central, 8pm Eastern
Time. During the weeks of Easter, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's...it does not meet on those Mondays.

  Years ago, on the now former N0KFQ BBS in Branson, Missouri (the Sysop and
his wife have both passed away), where The PCL Net originated, was what I
call "The E.D. Net". 

  Both of those files are at the hyperlink off of my QRZ bio...look for the 
file names "The PCL Net" and "The E.D. Net", respectively.

  At one time, I had that app on my smartphone, but since I mainly stay at
home (being homebound due to dry corneas, which would blur my vision without
warning, where it became too dangerous to drive anymore), I saw no need for 
it. With the D-Rats application, I use the GPS-A script to note my location 
for aprs.fi -- but you may have to search for my callsign separately.
