     Exactly. When I check into a net, I try to stay around, so I won't   
   miss important information.   
      
     As I noted in another post, "patience is a virtue" in ham radio,   
   but so many ham radio operators don't have it...as they're in a rush   
   to get off to another net they HAVE to checkin to.   
      
     Now, I can understand being "short time", as you're going out on   
   errands, etc.    
      
     But, the stations you talked about are basically "in and outs".
