    That's a supposition, but I do see a lot of "Hi, bye"s on
    traffic nets. I never got that. If you don't have any
    traffic, why check in? I've heard TNs that get maybe 10
    check-ins, and nobody has traffic, so the net ends. There's 10
    min. wasted.

    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".
