Default Radio Call Signs

In parts of Indonesia, they using various whistling tones to call
someone. Nothing said until the conversation starts.

Our shrimp boat operators have their own colourful language on VHF with
plenty of variable expletives only heard on marine VHF, and formerly on CB
Channel 11 before they had VHF on the boats...way back when.

The coastal Geechee language is mixed with Gullah and some Vietnamese
dialects of late, adding to the maelstrom on the channel.

It's best to keep the children off that channel, especially as the day and
tempers flare into thunderstorms, both physical and mental.
