Why not lighten up this seemely tense atmosphere around 121.5? Of course its a fq we all monitor but hey- if someone by misstake uses it whats the big deal?? Its so annoying to hear "ON GUAAAAAAAARD" afterwords. Feels like there is this one person with only one task on board- to say "ON GUAAAAAARD" as soon as he hears any thing. So stupid.
The other week we heard a fellow mate making his PA on 121.5 so shortly after (and no automatic ON GUARD BS) we went on the radio stating "One beer mate" and got a laugh and sorry back.
Much better than the other really annoying radio phrasiology, which isnt standard either... For those of you just to make a reply on this
I totally agree regarding the "Blocked" aswell. You should pick your times when wanting to be helpful, also going on the other fq to chat with Nigel on 123.45
You can do whatever you want, just say "Non Standard" before
