Is there a dedicated HF net for the IC-746?

Yes, one was started in October 2001.
It convenes 20M SSB near 14.2525 Mhz +/- QRM, on Sunday evenings at 9:00pm Eastern
time (6:00pm Pacific).
The folks that run the net shift it along with Daylight Savings Time in the U.S.A. Therefore,
during "standard" time (last Sunday in October to the first Sunday in April) the net starts at
0200 UTC Monday. During "savings" time (first Sunday of April through last Sunday of
October) the net starts at 0100 UTC Monday.
For the curious, not all of the U.S.A. participates in "daylight savings time". Likewise,
portions of Europe participate, but on a different timetable. A wealth of information on DST
can be found via Yahoo at:
http://dir.yahoo.com/Science/Measurements_and_Units/Time/Daylight_Saving_Time
or within the AC6V link indices at:
http://www.ac6v.com/opaids.htm - CLOCKTIME
or directly from NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) at:
http://www.time.gov/
The folks in the Yahoo IC746 e-mail group try to maintain a net calendar at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IC746/calendar
Yes, you have to be a member of the e-mail group to access their pages, but as a fringe
benefit, you'll even get an automatic e-mail reminder on the day of the event.
