<<Thirdly, for DIRECTOR and 120.4, please could you pass the word that, no matter how frustrated you are, there is no point in saying "one at a time please" when two people transmit - if we both start at the same time, then we have no way of telling that anybody else is transmitting.>>
Apologies on behalf of my colleagues. I'm afraid we're not taught too much about communications other than to use standard phraseology hence you'll also get controllers saying something like "someone has an open mic; please everyone check your transmitters" when the chances of the bloke with the open mic hearing that is pretty well nil.... isn't it?
