Sorry, forgot no-one's radio transmits or gets received on anything but 5's these days.
And as Griffo pointed out, not everyone carries the required documentation. At least if they haven't got a clue, don't use their radio etc., you can help
their sit. awareness by making your calls with minimal chance of confusion.
Make sense of is that retarded logic as well?

I'd be very careful about numbering yourself in a non-towered scenario.
I've seen occurrences where pilots calling themselves stopped looking for other traffic in the pattern with an airprox result. I'd rather leave sequencing to a tower.
Just a thought for consideration.
The other benefit of the "Turning" call is that a banked aircraft is much easier to spot to another aircraft in the circuit than one that is wings level.
