Don,
Yes he was correct. There's no point in going "over" if you're going
"out" because you possibly won't be there to receive. Example if you
switched channels immediately after your "out". But common usage is "over
and out" and most everyone knows what you mean. Sort of like on Lake
St.Clair boats don't blow their horn when passing another boat, all you'd
hear would be horns.

over and out


Our VHS instructor at the Power Squadron said......you don't say over and
out.
It's one or the other...
over .....to let the other participant have the airwaves
out........to sign off.
Was he right?
