Narrative:

Light aircraft departed off of runway 18 without making a radio call, after tower was closed. We taxied into position for takeoff on runway 36 (opposite) after making a radio transmission, then we noticed the light sel aircraft upwind about 300-400 ft above and slightly in front of us. GA pilots should pay more attention to proper radio procedures and the aim for uncontrolled airport procedures.
