Narrative

RPTING PERSON WAS PLT IN C182 ON MAY/XX/99. AT APPROX XA20 HRS LCL; TURNED ON UNICOM FREQ TO MONITOR WHILE LOADING SKYDIVERS INTO ACFT. AFTER 3 MINS; ANNOUNCED VIA UNICOM THAT ACFT N-NUMBER WAS ON SHORT TAXI TO RWY 32 FOR DEP. TAXI TOOK APPROX 2 MINS. FOLLOWING CHKLIST AND RUN-UP; ANNOUNCED THAT ACFT N-NUMBER DEPARTING RWY 32; CLBING IN THE PATTERN WITH SKYDIVERS. AT APPROX 65 KTS; CHKED L AND R FOR TFC ON OTHER RWYS. AT APPROX 80 KTS ROTATED. I THEN OBSERVED A MOONEY ACFT PASS UNDER MY ACFT ALSO ON ROTATION TKOF ON RWY 1. I THEN PERFORMED AN AGGRESSIVE CLB OVER THE MOONEY; WHICH CROSSED UNDER MY ACFT AT APPROX 50 FT DISTANCE. THERE WAS NO HEARD ANNOUNCEMENT PRIOR TO MOONEY'S DEP. I ATTEMPTED TO RAISE THE ACFT VIA THE UNICOM FREQ. THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I THEN RAISED VIA UNICOM AN AT6 ACFT THAT WAS ALSO DEPARTING ON RWY 1 AND SPOKE BRIEFLY WITH THE PLT CONCERNING THE 'N' NUMBER OF THE MOONEY. AGAIN DURING THE CONVERSATION WITH THE AT6 ACFT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE MOONEY ACFT. ROME GEORGIA ARPT IS HOST TO ALL TYPES OF ACFT FROM GYRO-COPTERS; ULTRA-LIGHTS; EXPERIMENTALS; ETC; AS WELL AS 2 SKYDIVING OPS ON THE WEEKENDS. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THERE HAS BEEN A 'CLOSE CALL' OF THIS TYPE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. I DO KNOW THAT THE RADIO ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT REQUIRED. AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT THE WIND WAS LIGHT AND VARIABLE AND SEVERAL RWYS HAD BEEN USED DURING THE PREVIOUS HRS. THE VISUAL AREA FROM MY POS ON RWY 32 LOOKING TOWARD RWY 1 IS NOT OBSTRUCTED. THE AFTERNOON SUN WAS BLOCKED BY THE VISOR AND TOP OF THE WINDSHIELD.
