Things about safety.com to remember:

If using an airfield, such as Strathaven, remember to start your call "Strathaven". Although CAP413 doesn't recommend it, end your call with "Strathaven" too since most folk don't pick up the first mention. If you don't mention the airfield, people won't know if you are at Bute, Strathaven, Castle Kennedy etc!

Safety.com is for blind calls, so don't expect an air/ground service.

Keep calls short. It is not a chat frequency.

if we find, at Strathaven, that safety.com becomes too cluttered, we won't bother paying hundreds of pounds for a dedicated frequency, we'll just stop using safety.com! So no safety benefit there!
