I presume you meant 18.132MHz :-)  Unfortunately, propagation has been
horrid on 17M at that time of day for quite a while now.  There are two
other nets on 17M around that time that I try to check in to but I have
heard only the faintest signals at net time for the past month or so. 
Unless things change, we would need a whole lot of relays across the
country and may spend most of the time jsut trying to get folks checked
in.  Listen on 18.165 or 18.147 at 1900Z on Sundays to see what I mean. 
Hopefully it is better in other locations than here in Maryland.
