- Lighten up!
-
- Can you do a radio check without hailing someone first?
-
- Can you also agree that when answering a general hail for a radio check,
- giving your location and approximate receiving conditions are an important
- part of identifying yourself?
-
- How about:
-
- A) "This is AAAA at <location_A> calling anyone willing to do a radio check"
-
- B) "This is BBBB at <location_B> receiving you clearly. Do you wish to suggest
- a working channel?"
-
- A) "Thank you, no. AAAA out/standing by/etc.)"
