Yesterday was a good flying Saturday in the Southeast at last !
A 3 ship flyout to Denham went really well ( first time - really nice place, thank you all there ).
Something cropped up that may be an issue now we have all got shiny new radios that work really well.
This is the matter of air to air chat on 135.475.
I had the pleasure of knowing that Hatz was 'up someone's chuff ' at Nayland, as well as numerous other peoples chit chat all over Southern England at various times.
Not picking on you mate, I just recognise your voice from the "chufee's" videos!, (that I follow religiously and enjoy very much, plus his good form radio work usually)
This is just a gentle observation, not having a go at all.
Let's keep the channel ( or is it still frequency ? - I dunno know) for it's intended use, and some discipline in the vocab. Everything everyone says can be heard for miles and miles, clear as a bell ( unless in a certain Jabiru- private joke)
I've not had a problem with not being able to communicate my intentions yet, probably no one has as it's pretty boggy most places.
Let's keep it short and to the point with our expensive new megaphones !
