from just prior to 2030 hrs and checked the frequency was clear, then (when no
Net Control station appeared) took over as NCS and called for check-ins several
times. No check-ins were heard. Band noise conditions were reasonable
but propagation was probably poor (as in recent weeks), but in the past I have
always been able to hear someone was there even though copy may have been too
poor to resolve the words. But nothing heard tonight. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
