Also any references for this in either AIP or Jepps either Aust or the WWT? I have searched AIP and can't find any reference to how to make a lat and long radio call.

AIP GEN 3.4 - 104
Not particularly helpful really, but AIP ENR 1.10 - 17 says the format for flight planning is:
This adds up to: "POSITION ONE THREE, ZERO ZERO SOUTH, ONE FOUR THREE, THREE FIVE EAST..."
Some pilots pronounce it the way they punched it into the dashboard with decimal minutes (or is it seconds), leading with the N/E/W/S. Annoying but acceptable.
POSITION [latitude, longitude]
1300S14335E

G'day Blueloo,
I vaguely remember reading a NOTAM re position report phraseology accross the Pacific, I'll try and track it down next time I go to work, Tuesday next. It might have a reference in it.
Just a thought though, the person copying your position report mught be typing it into a keybour similar to an FMC and so N/S xx xx.x E/W xxx xx.x might be easier to transcribe than numbers then letters.
Regards,
BH.

Thanks all - i'll have a look at those AIP references and the Jepp Met section.
Was the reference to phraseology accross the Pacific a company provided notam, or general notam?
