<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">There was NO WICEN HF net tonight. I was on frequency (3600) 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. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:Arial">Did anyone call in and I didn’t hear them? I hope so, as otherwise, the WICEN HF net has sunk to a new low of no NCS (except for a ring-in) and no participants.
