If the assignment was made prior to 1800, then you must establish two way contact or they will call at 0001.
I recommend all RSV experts on this forum sit down and read 20-K and 20-I-6 of the contract a few times. Then read it a few more times.
You get a CDW at 1800 on LDO for a reason. It is duty and starts 30/168 clock running or interrupts a time free from duty. If you have an assignment placed prior to 1800 you have to acknowledge which then satisfies the two way contact requirements.
And for SC or FSB, there is no automated check in available.

Good info. And there is little liability to calling
after 1800 to do the required acknowledgment of a reserve assignment. If they used this two-way contact to make a different asssignment the earliest it could be would be 1200 according to the UPA. But no contact before 1800. Technique: only acknowledge a flying assignment in CCS, and call to acknowledge a reserve assignment as close to, but after, 1800 as you can because once you acknowledge it you're released to the assignment. You don't have to answer phone and, if other assignments come open after 1800 you're not contactable for them.
