roll call listas de nomes [eram lidas pelo rádio]

Language variant: pt(br)

Explanation:
Fiquei com a impressão que não se trata numa chamada no sentido de verificação de quem está presente ou ausente, mas sim na leitura de nomes de pessoas desaparecidas ou designadas para uma tarefa, já que era feita pelo rádio. Afinal, como fazer uma chamada pelo rádio? Mas apenas o contexto pode esclarecer.
