I often keep the radio turned off most of the time while I fly, especially if lift gets hard to find and use and I need to work at it. Or if the frequency gets too much chatter.
OTOH on the following day when I was flying incummunicado for 5+ hours I wonder if we should have set up a radio check-in every, e.g., couple of hours.
It's always annoying when you get a retrieve while the sky still looks like in the photo above... :-)
(Hey Dan: do you have a higher-res version of this cool photo?)
No wonder RU didn't answer your radio call.

Others have asked for a copy of that picture. I'll make sure Dan hears about it.
