[ARES-SE] Wide Area Net this Sunday

[Myles Barkman]

Speaking of wide area nets, I tried listening for the Southwest Texas Lynx 
Disaster training net that used to be every Sunday at 12 noon.  Do they 
still carry this net, on certain Sundays, at a different time, or not at 
all?
I've been trying to update my Houston area net list.
Here is a spreadsheet of my list so far.
