Rather then the real causes: couldn't find the bird, bird was off, equipment setup error, wrong frequency, etc?

LOL, no, I was approaching it from the ET side, not the RM side. There were times when the gear was working but we still had no comms due to net controller problems. Another thing was that sometimes some other ships we were out with would do unannounced EMCON drills. I got kept up all night one time because of that, and first thing in the morning the carrier (U.S.S. George Washington) came right back on the air. Pissed me off something big.
