Capn Bloggs: Talk talk talk. It'll be a CTAF so you will have a radio. If in doubt, pipe up. In uncontrolled environments, A-N-C doesn't work. If you don't communicate,you may well not be aviating soon after, since ****'s preferred method of separation in CTAFs, see-and-avoid, DOES NOT WORK. I will never have a problem with a lighty talking too much.
Please no Talk talk talk. It should be talk when appropriate and pipe up if in doubt, and then look look look and listen, listen listen. We have two ears and eyes and one mouth, they should be used in that proportion.

With there being several airfields on the same frequency too much talking clutters the frequency to the point important calls get talked over. Too much talk, talk talk is counter productive.

P.S. Not all airfields are in airspace that requires a radio, there can be non radio equipped aircraft about.
