....Easy there dingo!

JM's got a good point.

Ive been flying OS for about 6 years and the thing I noticed straight away was the excess drivle associated with position reporting in the patch here in Oz.

I felt like getting on the radio and telling everyone to shut up! Tell me where you are and what your doing....dont try and engage me in a converstation about how we should seperate ourselves.........If I know where you are I will stay out of your way, or if I cant find you when I get near, Ill ask!


JM.....you have every right not to be slandered on this issue. After all it is a safety issue when you (and I ) cant get a word in edgeways, to report our postion when every other chatterbox insist on clogging up the airways with USELESS information. It is especially sad when there is only say, 4 planes in the patch.....
