FWA NATCA - sorry, not picking on US crews for the sake of it but the majority of missed calls that I experience ARE from the US carriers.
It almost gets to the stage sometimes that you have to get their attention with an initial call before you relay the instruction with a second call. When you're busy, multiply that by the number of US carriers on the frequency and it's far too much wasted RT time.
