<P>I can only call in when in VK7 land, or portable. No 80m antenna (rented
property so very limited options) and too much noise at VK3 QTH.</P>

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. <O:P></O:P></SPAN></FONT></P>
