Far more useful to transmit your intentions if the other parties are listening!
How would I know? Im in the middle of no-where, below me is the strip i need to land at and there is a lone PFA taildragger doing circuits!
Its 2 weeks after the safety-com went live, so i thought he may be listening, then again he might not, he may not be aware of this new frequency, he may be non-radio. Nothing to lose by blind-calling my intentions using the strip name in the transmission.
Or have I missed something?
