Ok...
So, at 153115 I sent my last call, sent to the Fox at 153130. 2.5min later (or
less), the Fox queued me for the “available to call” list. Then, one of 2
scenarios played out: 1) I have a missing Fox attempt at 153500; or 2) I have a
missing Fox attempt at 153630. And, the delay on the “to be called” list was
1) 1:30; or 2) 2:30.
I’m not trying to be a pain. I’m only trying to thoroughly understand the
process. I’m an EE and think logically (sometimes!).
Thank you for responding.
