over and out


Our VHS instructor at the Power Squadron said......you don't say over and
out.

You took a class in operating a VHS at the Power Squadron? :)

It's one or the other...
over .....to let the other participant have the airwaves
out........to sign off.
Was he right?

Technically, that is correct.

Let's say that you and I are conversing. If I say over and out, that
indicates that the last transmission is yours - I am clear of the
channel once your transmission is ended.

Later,

You better go back to school and relearn this part. Where you day dreaming
or smoking the hooch when they taught you that particular lesson?

What if I ask you a question on my last transmission?

If it requires a response from you, then it's over. If transmission
is reinitiated, then you go back to square one in protocol. If the
question does not require a end response from you, then over and out.

However, all this is mute because anybody who has ever listened to
marine VHF along the east or west coast, it's as bad as CB. :)

Later,

Tom - waiting for some CB'er to flame me.

Not in my corner of the world. I live in a major seaport/naval base and
sometimes turn on my handheld and scan 5 or 6 channels just to see what's
going on. 95% of the time it's very professional and quiet time occurs at
least 70 % of the time.
We also have a Coast Guard base here so this might encourage the locals to
behave.

You obviously don't live near Long Island Sound or Narragansett/Rhode
Island/Martha's. :)

Calling anything that far north 'major' is the equivalent of asslicker
calling Atlanta a 'world class city' LMAO

Your exaulted ruler, George W, and Ms Rice seem to think so.

Well Fritz, I hope you really had a good laugh over our North. I think
that even you could call a city that is the fifth largest in North America,
a "Major" city. That city is Toronto, Canada..... Halifax is the largest
port on the eastern seaboard of North America and it's port handles over 15
million metric tonnes of cargo every year. I would say that is "Major"
wouldn't you?

Hey, Fritz, here's an idea. How about, instead of laughing your lonely
ass off, or childish name calling, why don't you actually say something
of substance? For a start, I listed many, many reasons why Atlanta is a
world class city. You've done NOTHING to dispute that, except, because
you are bitter over your wife leaving you, resort to childish name
calling. Care to try now?
