RADIO PROCEDURES DURING EMERGENCIES
1. Identify yourself at the beginning of each transmission
especially where confusion may result if omitted.
2. Identification is a requirement of the FCC. Stations
must Give a complete station identification at least once in
a 10-minute operating period, particularly when tactical calls
are being used.
3. Listen before transmitting. Be sure you are not on the
air with someone else.
4. Know what you are going to say before you push the mike
button; in other words, engage your brain before you put your
mouth in gear.
5. Hold the transmit button down for at least a second before
beginning your message to insure that the first part of your
message is not cut off.
6. TALK ACROSS THE FACE OF YOUR MICROPHONE. This technique
makes the communications more understandable. In other words,
hold the face of the microphone almost at a right angle to your
face.
7. Speak slowly, distinctly, clearly, and do not let your
voice trail off at the end of words or sentences. Give each and
every word equal force. For some this takes a lot of practice
and conscious effort but do it.
8. Never acknowledge calls or instructions unless you
understand the call or instructions perfectly. If you do not
understand, ask for a repeat.
9. When you have understood the message, acknowledge the
receipt with the words "copy", "received" or "acknowledged."
The word "copy" is preferred and NEVER the word "QSL."
10. The word "break" is never used UNLESS there is an
emergency. Give you call letters to gain access to a net.
