Excerpt description of a potential chat (from Hangouts chatting with Corwin):
okay, so normallyFor 2 meters
the simplex (one person at a time) calling frequency is 146.52
Normally, if you were wanting to talk to me and we both just had our radios on and chilling on that
I’d do a call like this
This is KG7HTH, Kilo-Golf-Seven-Tango-Hotel-Tango calling KG7PGD, (nato-phonetic) on 2 meters
You’d respond with
KG7HTH, this is (your call), (your call phonetic)
ah, see
already missed a thing
missed my over’s
XD
over over
xd
And then at that point I’d respond, hi (callsign), lets change to (freq)
and we’d do a similar short call on that freq
to make sure it’s clear
doesn’t really have to have phonetic, only if we want
then once we’ve reestablished the link on that non-calling frequency
we can chat away
