Stupidist radio call
Post your best one here.
My first nomination- So last evening BN Center were having transmitter trouble on one frequency near Darwin- open mikes followed by periods off the air. I'm trying to arrange a weather diversion.
I know Aussie ATC don't routinely monitor 121.5 (I don't know WHY they don't!!) but believe they have the capacity in no-coms situations (stand to be corrected on this point)
So I give it a try- "BN center, Babble fish one calling on 121.5, do you read?"
Instant response from "some dude"
"You're on guard mate!"
Couldn't make it up....
