Yep, I agree, if its short and sharp its ok, if you get someone who has pressed the button long before thinking about what they want to say its a real pain in the ar$e, especially as you rightly say on a busy saturday afternoon, every man and his dog are in the circuit - you turn onto final and all the way down you just cant call it till your short final cos mr and mrs correct and the dog and cat are passing thru, and taking 20 seconds to say it.

I guess its a matter of luck most of the time, where people are in the circuit etc.

Any suggestions? I not sure how big a problem PPL`s find this on a busy day or how there particular airfield deals with it.

Regards all,
