    One can't be fashionably late for a ham radio net. I'll give folks plenty of time to checkin, but there is a similar setup that I myself
    and other net control station uses when checkins dry up.

    1) Auctioneer Mode -- going once, going twice, sold, close the checkins and the net.
    I once missed my checkin because my equipment was broken. I had to order
    a new battery pack for my handheld.

    Of course it's company policy never to, imply ownership in the event of a dildo... always use the indefinite article a dildo, never your dildo.

    Those batteries, whether for handheld radios or cellphones, fail at
    the worst time.
