How about position reports which go like this. "At this point in time CF XXX is curently over XXX at 5000, any conflicting traffic please advise" Pure bafflegab!Or our local gliding club, flying out of a grass field call "Haw----Y ground" all the time, the logic they tell me is the person they are talking to is on the ground! They then tie up unicom with endless chatter about sink rate and stuff instead of going to the air to air freq, or the pilots who sqawk ident on "the transponder" what the hell else are you going to sqawk on? {most dont even know the history of the term and what a Parrot was}Im actually a radio examiner and just cant figure how these folks get past the most basic test for an RT lic.
