Radar strip Marking

How do you mark your strips?

Headings:- In domestic box or in a divided level box?
Tick idents or not ?
Tick SSR code on verifying mode C or not?

None of this is in mats pt one or is it?
What is the general concensus

God that takes me back...

Radar vector pad for headings? or box 4.
No ticking Idents for us, just do them.
Tick code on issue, cross on verify, off the deck cross on verify (assuming tower or CLR Del, gave the code).

Now it's just "HXXX" in the label click, C prompt click, & do absolutely nothing, in that order...

Not back far enough. White sheet of perspex, black chinagraph, NATO cross for each aircraft, headings on one side, levels on the other. Remember to rub it all out when the aircraft leaves the frequency. IMHO the rot set in when we went from Roman to Arabic numerals.

Headings in domestic box cos I run out of room in the level box. Not that I have to give a lot of headings, but they are usually the wrong ones! Tick and cross idents when I remember.
