| === Radio voice procedure ===
| |
|
| |
| ==== Basics ====
| |
|
| |
| # Think before you speak. Then, be brief.
| |
| # Use no one's personal information (name, health status, address, etc.)
| |
| # To make a call, say the tactical call sign of the receiving station, followed by THIS IS and then your tactical call sign, and then OVER. Use the "Hey you, it's me" convention. '''''Example: "Command post, this is Rover One, Over."'''''
| |
|
| |
| ==== Accuracy ====
| |
| Use the RSVP system to ensure accuracy.
