Default Re: Users of 2 metre Amateur Band?

I just use normal speak when on amateur radio. That's because I find it easier, like having a normal conversation, but also because I can't remember most of the jargon, even if I felt like using it, and also because at work I use radios a lot and the people at the other end are very critical of "proper" radio procedure, although they do have their own particular way of operating, which is intended to use airtime for the absolute minimum to pass the message, exactly the opposite to a good old chat on amateur radio!
