NEVER GIVE UP! Conditions weren't the best tonight... on EITHER net 
for that matter.

There were several(!) stations who attempted to dump their calls in 
once (or twice) but didn't seem to want to stick around long enough 
for Kevin (or me) to acknowledge them. Just because you don't get 
thru on the first couple attempts, DO NOT ASSUME that you're not 
being heard... you may just be the 3rd or 4th level down and we often 
tend to pick up the strongest (or fastest) first when then work our 
way down the list. SO at least give it the old college try several 
more times before assuming you're not going to be heard.

And, for those others who DO get through... if you hear someone 
attempting to QNI (check in) and neither Kevin nor I (nor anyone 
else) is acknowledging them, PLEASE dump YOUR call in (again) and 
relay (QSP) that other station when once you're acknowledged by the 
NCS at that time.
