Initial calls VFR/GA
Would the pro's please help a hobby pilot with a slight niggle.
I was trained to include the frequency of the atsu I am calling in the initial call along with its call sign and mine. This on the basis that all partys know who's calling whomj, many times I hear calls from pilots who think they have qsy'd but haven't!
One busy day recently I called as usual
"XYZ Radar on 123.4 G-ABCD"
Response
"G-ABCD I know my own frequency pass your message"
This from the tone of the controller took the form a bollocking I thought undeserved.
I couldn't find any guidance in CAP 214, who's right?
