reduce the ridiculous frequency clogging of a VFR departure call at non-GAAP Class D towers and make other improvements.
I think that is a good thing....unless I am missing something important about a departure call.
Would have saved the embarassment of having made one on departing YBMC one evening that the tower did not hear it.....I did make one as Chimbu Chuck will recall......perhaps the FTDK's failing electrics were to blame!
Departure calls at CTAF/GAAP/D into any G is really a waste of radio waves!
