- Listen BEFORE talking.
- Press the PTT (Push to Talk button) and then WAIT 1 to 2 seconds. If you do not, the first part of your communications may not be heard.
- State who you want to talk to FIRST. People listen for their names, not yours, so always state their name or call sign or role name FIRST.
- State your call sign. If you are new to the frequency, others would ask for your handle on their own.
- Hold the PTT an additional 1 to 2 seconds, so they hear the full transmission.
- Wait for the other party to acknowledge your call.
- Say your message, slowly, clearly, concisely, and spell confusing names. Remember the two second rules (to speak after 1 or 2 seconds and to keep PTT pressed for 1 or 2 seconds after your over) .
- Wait for the other party to acknowledge the message. Remember, the communication is not complete until the other party acknowledges the message. Another station could have been transmitting at the same time and over-powered your transmission.
