When calling someone on the radio, please prefix your message with the callsign of who you are trying to contact. For example: CONTROL (say it Twice) from GREEN 1, over. The response should be: GREEN 1 from CONTROL go ahead over.
(remember to press the PTT transmission button for about 2 seconds before you start talking so that you do not cut off the first 1-2 words of your message).
Please listen to the radio before you speak to make sure that you are not talking over someone else’s transmission and be aware of your surroundings and who may be listening to your message.
Remain calm at all times and pass your message in a clear precise manner, keeping to the facts. (we don’t need a full history at this point). Always know your exact location.
If your transmission is URGENT, please say so. For Example: CONTROL from GREEN 1 URGENT MESSAGE over.
No matter what channel you are operating on, if you have an emergency, you must change to Channel 1 and contact Control. Pass your message and they will deploy appropriate resources such as Medical or Response.
Remember, if your message is of a more confidential nature or lengthy in content, please consider passing it by internal telephone/mobile phone.
