Narrative:

I left parking space, announced intentions to taxi to runway. Listened on radio, heard no traffic, pulled to hold short line. Looked down runway, saw no one, listened to radio, announced intention to cross runway to other taxiway, heard and saw no one. Crossed runway, in middle of runway, saw aircraft just miss me flying overhead. Taxied off runway, called unicom for a radio check and was informed that 1) radio worked, 2) aircraft had just missed me.
