  1. so ive been checking into the local tuesday night net for a few months now and i still feel like i dont totally understand when im supposed to identify. like i know the FCC says every 10 minutes and at the end of a transmission but what counts as the end? if im just doing a quick check-in and the net control comes back to me right away does that count as a full exchange or do i still need to throw my call at the end every single time? and then theres the whole thing about passing traffic, ive never actually passed formal NTS traffic before but i watched someone do it last week and they seemed to ID like every other sentence which felt like a lot. maybe thats just how they do it idk also semi-related but what do you do when net control clearly didnt hear you check in? do you just wait for the second round or is it okay to just come back in? i did that once and felt bad about it like i interrupted something
