Whilst on R/T.
Anyone else out there amazed as I am, how some guys/girls that have probably been flyin around the planet for years, have not noticed that their transmissions are really distorted and garbled due to having the mic rammed in between their lips.
Seems to me only about maybe 30% of people do it, however, it does make listening to them difficult and even the controllers at times have a prob understanding them due to all the spluttering.
Not having a shot as none of us are perfect. (Just thought I'd put that in)
It is a problem that can be so easily rectified if only they are made aware of the situation. With of course, the use of much diplomacy.
