SUBJECT: Operations - Techniques - Part 2
EXCEPTIONS OR VARIATIONS
1. It is sometimes permissible to omit the call designator of
the station you are calling BUT only after communications have
been established and no confusion will occur. Don't waste time,
by using superfluous callsigns.
2. The term "THIS IS" is used to separate the FROM and TO
callsigns. If, and only if, confusion will not result, omitting
the "THIS IS" phrase is permissible.
3. If you are the calling station and you omit your own
tactical callsign, you can create confusion. In certain
situation, such as quick replies between operators, it can be
accomplished without confusion. You must NOT use this
simplification where messages can be interpreted incorrectly.
4. Elimination of the words "OVER" and "OUT" is possible
where it doesn't introduce problems. Unkeying after your message
implies "OVER". To comply with FCC regulations, you must give
your FCC assigned call every ten minutes OR at the end of a
series of exchange communications, whichever comes first. Giving
your callsign can imply an "OUT" ending. Should giving your
call cause any confusion, do not hesitate to add the word "OUT".
In HF single-sideband radio, it IS necessary to say the word
"OVER".
