Boy did I open up a can of worms... I personaly think that even though we dont
"Have" to use the standard I think is not only sounds the best but just seems
everyone should use the same one in my opinion. Sure if you know you are
talking with some guy in Mexico or whatever, maybe then use the geographical
one. There is always going to be a language barrier, and I will agree with some
of you to do what it takes to get the job done.
But on a general rule I will be using the STANDARD and I also agree that
"Kilowatt" is the stupidest most insecure substitute ever. Might as well start
talking like the cops, boy and george for chist's sake. Oh and by the way its
HAND HELD not handy talky, you guys talkin on your baby moniter or somethin?
I dont like being told what to use any more than the other guy, BUT the
STANDARD IS BEST why do you think us pilots use it? (student pilot here...)
Have a nice day! :)
