I run an IRLP/Echolink reflector that would be useful if you wanted to
run a net that would be accessible to VHF, UHF, and computer-based
participants.

The reflector is 9440-9, with irlp channel 9449 also being bridged to
echolink conference K9IU-L. We have put this system together to link
university based clubs and repeaters together, but that has so far
been limited to nets with no uptake on permanent connections. So,
avoiding the college net time (wed 0200 utc) during the school year,
you all are free to pick a time and have a net via that system on IRLP
9449 as well.

Cheers,
