I am with you on that one. sometimes it makes me laugh sometimes it frusterates the h..l out off me.

your somewere out bush and listning to like 126.7 and someone makes radio call
xyz is 20 miles inbound height intentions ac type etc.
than same thing 15 miles. 10 miles, 5 miles, o finaly old mate is in the circuit, he has probleby worked out he is the only one and will now shut up.
But no wait there is more, crosswind joining, than down wind, mid down wind, turning base, finals, short finals and i supose he has now landed.
O no there is one more to make, cleared runway so and so.
as for me i have been tempted sooo many times to say "shut the up"

at least he is a keen pilot i supose. and i personaly could make a few more.

I like the bit in that casa statemend wich read something like, that all aircraft that are radio equiped.....

in other words dont worry about the guys in flying kite's
if they want to change someting for the better, get them radio fitted, and to do a course in how to use and talk on them.
that might make things a bit safer.

just my 2c worth
cheers
