Radio Etiquette

How to sound like a professional operator on the air.

Speak clearly and at a steady pace. Think before you key up.

Keep transmissions short. One idea per transmission.

Identify yourself first: callsign, then message.

Wait for other transmissions to finish. Never step on command traffic.

Use approved terminology from the command dictionary.

Acknowledge important orders with a copy or a readback.

Avoid radio spam and unnecessary conversation.

Maintain professionalism even when the scenario goes badly.
