Good grief!
My current copy of the UK radiotelephony manual defines the word 'contact' as:
CONTACT Establish communications with ... (your details have been
passed).
As in 'Birdseed 123 contact Approach now on 119.72'
Does this mean that it has an entirely different meaning in other parts of the world? What words do they use when they wish to instruct a a pilot to 'establish communications with'?
Cheers,
