using the phonetic alphabet and phrase "I spell". E.G. "MOVE TO GAFSA

- 1. Stations are identified by call signs consisting of letters,
numerals, or words, as LM6 (LOVE MIKE SIX) or BUFFALO.
- 2. CALL- Contact between stations is established and maintained
by preceeding each transmission with a call, consisting of (CALL SIGN
OF CALLED STATION) and "THIS IS" (CALL SIGN OF CALLING STATION) Example:
"LOVE MIKE THIS IS KING UNCLE" -or- "BUFFALO THIS IS BOSTON" The call
may be abbreviated after initial contact has been made by omitting
the call sign of the called station in each successive reply. "THIS
IS LOVE MIKE ----" "THIS IS ----BUFFALO"
- 3. Text - The text or subject matter, is transmitted employing the
general principles prescribed above. The writer's time signed is preceded
by the word "TIME"
- 4. Ending - Every transmission will end with one of the following
procedure words: OVER = "My transmission to you is ended. I expect
a response" OUT = "My transmission to you is ended and no response
is required or expected" ROGER = "Your last transmission received"
WILCO = "Your last transmission received and will be complied with"
MESSAGE FOR YOU = "I wish to transmit a message to you" SEND YOUR
MESSAGE = "I am ready to receive your message" CORRECTION = "I have
made an error in transmission, the correct version is -----" SAY AGAIN
= "Repeat your previous transmission" I SAY AGAIN = "I will repeat"
(Note:Except when constituting part of the text of a message, the
word "repeat" will never be used in radio telephone communication,
since it has a distinct operational meaning in the British Army. For
example, when used by the Royal Artillery, it means that the salvo
last ordered will be fired again at the same range..)
WORDS TWICE= (1) As a request "Communication
is difficult, send each phrase or code group twice." (2) As information
"Since communication is difficult, I will send each phrase or code
group twice" Single Call Sign Method - This method is provided for
use when it is desired to conceal the direction of flow of traffic
and the identity of the control station. It consists of the elimination
of the call sign of the control station and the words "this is" in
communications between the control station and the other stations
in the net.
There are two basic rules which govern
calling and answering:
(1) A subordinate station starts all transmissinos with its own call
sign.
(2) The control station starts all transmissions with the call sign
of the station(s) with which it is working. EXAMPLES:
(1) Control station call 1 subordinate station: ABLE BAKER ONE OVER
(Control calls AB1) ABLE BAKER ONE OVER (AB1 answers)
(2) Subordinate station calls control station: ABLE BAKER ONE OVER
(The call) ABLE BAKER ONE OVER (The answer)
(3) Subordinate station calls subordinate station ABLE BAKER ONE MESSAGE
FOR ABLE BAKER TWO OVER (The call) ABLE BAKER TWO OVER (The answer)
(4) Suborndinate station calls control station and one subordinate
station: ABLE BAKER ONE MESSAGE FOR ABLE BAKER ONE ABLE BAKER TWO
OVER (AB1 calls control and AB2) ABLE BAKER ONE OVER (Control answers)
ABLE BAKER TWO OVER (AB2 answers)
(5) Control station calls the net: XRAY YOKE ZEBRA OVER (The call)
ABLE BAKER ONE OVER (The answer) ABLE BAKER TWO OVER ABLE BAKER THREE
OVER
(6) Subordinate station calls the net: ABLE BAKER ONE MESSAGE FOR
XRAY YOKE ZEBRA OVER (The call) ABLE BAKER ONE OVER (Control answers)
ABLE BAKER TWO OVER (AB2 answers) ABLE BAKER THREE OVER (AB3 answers)
Under conditions of controlled communications, a subordinate station
must obtain permission from the control station to communicate with
a subordinate station.
