00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.040
<v Speaker 1>How often should you be required to ID when you

2
00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>are on parks, on the air, when you're working a

3
00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>pile up, even a pilot from anywhere, When you're working

4
00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>a pilot from anywhere, how often should you ID? And

5
00:00:13.560 --> 00:00:17.039
<v Speaker 1>what is the best practice scenario? I want to talk

6
00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:19.519
<v Speaker 1>about this today because this is something we've talked about before.

7
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>But this is a good article I found, So let's go.

00:00:25.679 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>Today's video is sponsored by Mezi and Poloni Koax save

00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:39.079
<v Speaker 1>of HR two cables once again. This is another Reddit article.

12
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>I almost said QRZ once again. This is another Reddit article.

13
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>It's seventeen days old at the time of this recording,

14
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:50.079
<v Speaker 1>and it says rant constantly calling qrzed, never giving your

15
00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:53.159
<v Speaker 1>call sign. Now there's a few there. This is a

16
00:00:53.200 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>short article and there's a few good comments on this.

17
00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>But this is something we have I've talked about before.

18
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:04.159
<v Speaker 1>We talked about this on live streams. I've done live

19
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.799
<v Speaker 1>streams with the Hamrado Happy Hour, I've done live streams

20
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 1>with other guests whatnot, and we have talked about calling

21
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>qr Z and running pile ups and how to do

22
00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:18.319
<v Speaker 1>PODA and PoTA etiquette and all of this kind of stuff.

23
00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.359
<v Speaker 1>We've talked about many of these things before, so when

24
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>I saw this article, it kind of hit home for me,

25
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>and I want to talk about it. This guy's mostly correct.

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't agree with one hundred percent of what he says,

27
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>but he is mostly correct. He says, I've been trying

28
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.840
<v Speaker 1>to make a contact with the PoTA station for the

29
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:38.719
<v Speaker 1>last five minutes so, and there's a comment later on

30
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:41.439
<v Speaker 1>that that speaks to this. So, according to the article,

31
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:43.959
<v Speaker 1>he tries for five minutes to make contact with the

32
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>PoTA station and then stops to write this QRZ article. Really,

33
00:01:50.879 --> 00:01:53.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. It's just the way it's worded. Man,

34
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:55.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just the way it's worded. Okay, as far as

35
00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm aware of, the guy's call sign seems to be QRZ.

36
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>The guy has not once given his call since I've

37
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>tuned up on the frequency. Well, first of all, if

38
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you have only been there for five minutes, then he's

39
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.599
<v Speaker 1>not required to ID because you're required to ID once

40
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>every ten minutes. So the point so far is moot. Okay,

41
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>you might not like it, but there's nothing. There's no

42
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.800
<v Speaker 1>rules being broken here. I know I could make a

43
00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:17.599
<v Speaker 1>contact and ask for it, but I shouldn't have to.

44
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>This is just common courtesy to identify yourself. Maybe not

45
00:02:20.039 --> 00:02:22.319
<v Speaker 1>every time you call, but every second and fourth call

46
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>seems reasonable. No, Well, to you, it might, but if

47
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>you're in the middle of running a pile up, you

48
00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.159
<v Speaker 1>just may not be thinking about it. If he's just

49
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:32.599
<v Speaker 1>working people over and over again without ID and they

50
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>aren't asking for his ID, they're getting it from somewhere,

51
00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:38.800
<v Speaker 1>So where are they getting it from that you're not seeing.

52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:40.759
<v Speaker 1>He goes on to say, who are you? What are

53
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you calling about? Why should I make contact with you?

54
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a good point. I do think it's annoying when

55
00:02:47.199 --> 00:02:50.719
<v Speaker 1>PoTA operators are not like saying QRZ parks on the air.

56
00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I usually say my calls on. I'll say CAC five

57
00:02:52.919 --> 00:02:54.680
<v Speaker 1>H shild B parks on the air, and I'll say

58
00:02:54.719 --> 00:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>qr ZED from k C five H should be parks

59
00:02:57.240 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 1>on the air, something like that. Calling QRZ at this

60
00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:01.759
<v Speaker 1>point ten minutes he's okay, Now he's in ten minutes

61
00:03:01.759 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>straight without iding is just kind of obnoxious. If he's

62
00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:06.879
<v Speaker 1>passed the ten minute mark, then he's in the wrong. Okay,

63
00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>but this is the first time he's been in the

64
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.400
<v Speaker 1>wrong so far. You ought to be proud of your

65
00:03:10.439 --> 00:03:12.960
<v Speaker 1>call signs spewed all over the airways. When activating, you

66
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.199
<v Speaker 1>might find your pile ups get a bit bigger from

67
00:03:15.240 --> 00:03:17.719
<v Speaker 1>people like me coming back to you instead of getting

68
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 1>frustrated with QRZ and moving along. Okay, all right, so

69
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:23.879
<v Speaker 1>there's some merit to that. I think he's got a point.

70
00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:28.159
<v Speaker 1>It is a little bit frustrating when Poda operators won't id.

71
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.000
<v Speaker 1>But as another this is not for myself. I've worked

72
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.719
<v Speaker 1>parks on the air. I've activated ninety two unique parts

73
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and eighty five activations. And the only reason

74
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>I know that number I don't have it memorized. I

75
00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.479
<v Speaker 1>just uploaded some potologus like two days ago, so I looked.

76
00:03:44.479 --> 00:03:46.639
<v Speaker 1>I was like, okay, I'm up to ninety two unique parks.

77
00:03:46.840 --> 00:03:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I need eight more to break that one hundred marks,

78
00:03:48.719 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>so we'll be doing that soon. But regardless of that,

79
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:54.199
<v Speaker 1>I have worked pile ups on Poda. You can really

80
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of get rolling, and I find it a little

81
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:00.439
<v Speaker 1>bit unusual that no one came along and for his

82
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>call sign during that ten minutes that this poster was

83
00:04:03.520 --> 00:04:07.280
<v Speaker 1>talking about. I find that a little odd. Usually you'll

84
00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.879
<v Speaker 1>have someone who's impatient who calls back to you that

85
00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>asks for your call sign because they don't have the

86
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>patience to listen to you. Usually you'll hear that. So

87
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>it's a little odd, but it's not impossible. Obviously, it's

88
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 1>not impossible. It's totally doable that you could just go

89
00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.879
<v Speaker 1>on for that long and not have anyone ID, or

90
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't ID and no one would come back to

91
00:04:29.519 --> 00:04:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you with your call sign either. So that is a possibility.

92
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So some of these comments are really good. The first

93
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 1>one says, so ask for their call sign, maybe that

94
00:04:36.439 --> 00:04:38.879
<v Speaker 1>will remind him to give it more often. He comes

95
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>back that someone else replies to him. I've actually had

96
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>this where I made a PoTA contact with another park

97
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.279
<v Speaker 1>and then when I made the contact, they just acknowledged

98
00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:49.199
<v Speaker 1>me and went back to calling. Okay, so this guy

99
00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was not a very good operator. Then the elmer who

100
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>was with me and did the PODA at the same

101
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:55.879
<v Speaker 1>time finally took my mic and had to ask a

102
00:04:55.920 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 1>half dozen times, getting increasingly annoyed. Finally, one other station

103
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>must have heard and was like, hey, you got several

104
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:03.319
<v Speaker 1>people asking for a call sign, when are you going

105
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.240
<v Speaker 1>to id? And that's when he took and that's what

106
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>it took to get it. Yeah, so that's just kind

107
00:05:08.720 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>of a careless operator. And I wasn't there. I didn't

108
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.839
<v Speaker 1>hear this exact exchange, but from what you're describing, this

109
00:05:13.879 --> 00:05:17.720
<v Speaker 1>sounds like a careless operator. And then this third and

110
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:21.199
<v Speaker 1>fourth one. Yeah, he's like, correct, you already had the

111
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 1>microphone in your hand, but instead you put down the

112
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>mic picked up the keyboard to scurry off to Reddit

113
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>to piss and moan about people who aren't even there.

114
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:28.959
<v Speaker 1>This is a very low chance the Poda guy will

115
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 1>even see this thread. OPI has become the dreaded guy

116
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>who was yelling at clouds. Okay, so yeah, So, like

117
00:05:35.199 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I said at the beginning, it's unlikely that you actually

118
00:05:38.279 --> 00:05:40.959
<v Speaker 1>listened to him for five minutes and then went and

119
00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:44.160
<v Speaker 1>wrote this article. So you're probably this probably happened to

120
00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.319
<v Speaker 1>you earlier in the day and you're writing it and

121
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.040
<v Speaker 1>you were looking at the time. I get it, I

122
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>get it. It's cool. It's just the way it's worded

123
00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:54.000
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit strange. I thought it's one of

124
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>those things, but either way. Either way. Now, one thing

125
00:05:56.959 --> 00:05:58.399
<v Speaker 1>I will say about parks on the air is that

126
00:05:58.439 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>if you are doing parks on the air, if you

127
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>are set up in the park, you should be using

128
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Mezzi and Plony Coax. MMP Coacs is the sponsor of

136

139
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:33.680
<v Speaker 1>cool because it rolls right up, easy to carry, easy

<v Speaker 1>thank you M ANDP for supporting this channel. This one

142
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 1>right here is my favorite comment. This is my favorite

143
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:43.480
<v Speaker 1>comment right here. No Bath eighty six thirty five. I

144
00:06:43.519 --> 00:06:45.920
<v Speaker 1>don't disagree, but I get more annoyed by the people

145
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.480
<v Speaker 1>who ask for the station's call sign, even though they've

146
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>been giving it out after every exchange because they couldn't

147
00:06:52.720 --> 00:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>be bothered to listen before throwing out their call. So yes,

148
00:06:57.279 --> 00:07:00.759
<v Speaker 1>this right here in the original poster replies as I agree,

149
00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:02.879
<v Speaker 1>which is why I wait to hear a call before

150
00:07:02.879 --> 00:07:04.519
<v Speaker 1>making contact. But if I have to wait ten minutes

151
00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>to get your call, I'm not going to make contact.

152
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>I can see that point as well. So with me,

153
00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 1>this is my personal opinion, this is my personal experience. Okay.

154
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:20.319
<v Speaker 1>And I have several times been calling cqpodaqpoda and I'll

155
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:22.959
<v Speaker 1>start working a pile up and I'll say, okay, qrzed.

156
00:07:23.000 --> 00:07:25.160
<v Speaker 1>The next guy come back to me, okay QRZ. The

157
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>next guy will come back to me, okay QRZ from

158
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.839
<v Speaker 1>Kilo Charlie five Hotel, Whiskey bubble Parks in the air.

159
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>The next guy will come back to me, and then

160
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:35.079
<v Speaker 1>someone else will come back to me. Okay, And I

161
00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:37.319
<v Speaker 1>have just said my call sign like a minute and

162
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.639
<v Speaker 1>a half prior to that, like a minute and a

163
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>half prior to that, I said my call sign, and

164
00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:44.000
<v Speaker 1>then someone comes back to me and says, now, what's

165
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.360
<v Speaker 1>your call sign again? I'm like Why are you calling

166
00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>someone that you don't know what their call sign is? Why?

167
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Why are you You can't be bothered to listen for

168
00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:54.079
<v Speaker 1>more than ninety seconds because I just gave my call

169
00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>sign okay, and I'll probably give it again in two

170
00:07:56.439 --> 00:07:59.879
<v Speaker 1>or three other roundabouts. But that is what I find

171
00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.839
<v Speaker 1>more annoying than anything. I have listened and hunted PODA

172
00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:05.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times in the truck. If I've got

173
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:07.879
<v Speaker 1>my HEF radio setup, which I do right now, a

174
00:08:07.879 --> 00:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>lot of times in the truck, I will listen. I

175
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:12.879
<v Speaker 1>will just scroll through the band and listen for people

176
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>calling c Q PODA, and I'll do PODA hunting that way.

177
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And yes, sometimes it takes some people a long time

178
00:08:18.079 --> 00:08:20.959
<v Speaker 1>to give their ID, that's true, But I think that's

179
00:08:21.360 --> 00:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>my experience is then that that's not as common, and

180
00:08:25.160 --> 00:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>it's much more common for someone to come along while

181
00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:32.039
<v Speaker 1>you're activating PODA and call you and say, now, what's

182
00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:34.519
<v Speaker 1>your call sign? I'm like, how do you not know

183
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>my call sign? It just gave it ninety seconds ago,

184
00:08:37.120 --> 00:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and why are you working me? Because if you didn't

185
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:41.159
<v Speaker 1>hear that, you probably didn't hear I was doing parks

186
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:43.879
<v Speaker 1>on the air, So why are you calling back to me.

187
00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:46.360
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'm doing a special event that you don't care about.

188
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>How do you know? That's kind I find that kind

189
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:51.799
<v Speaker 1>of annoying. That's my own personal rant. But there you go,

190
00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.720
<v Speaker 1>right there, all right? So this one right here, this

191
00:08:54.759 --> 00:09:00.840
<v Speaker 1>next comment right here, I especially liked. This was replied

192
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.639
<v Speaker 1>by Dan KB six and you now I'm gonna say

193
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:06.639
<v Speaker 1>right here. Dan's a great guy. He taught the technician

194
00:09:06.679 --> 00:09:10.440
<v Speaker 1>class on my channel. It's currently he makes the no

195
00:09:10.440 --> 00:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>nonsense guides, and he taught a six hour technician class

196
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:15.840
<v Speaker 1>on this channel that you can go watch now if

197
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 1>you want to get your first time radio license. And

198
00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:20.759
<v Speaker 1>he's an excellent teacher and an excellent operator. But I

199
00:09:20.759 --> 00:09:22.919
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with what he says here. So let's read

200
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:27.279
<v Speaker 1>this really quick. Okay, Angry Fox brewing? Cool? Is that

201
00:09:27.320 --> 00:09:29.480
<v Speaker 1>a brewery? I need to go check that out. PODA

202
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.919
<v Speaker 1>in a pile up can definitely mean QRZ gets called

203
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.080
<v Speaker 1>a few times between the activators, but I agree ten

204
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.960
<v Speaker 1>minutes between ideas far too long. I personally try to

205
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.480
<v Speaker 1>id every other call of QRZED when I'm trying to

206
00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>activate and make sure listening stations can get the information

207
00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and their log when they get through the pile up.

208
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>It's also fair to just ask the station for their

209
00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:50.320
<v Speaker 1>call sign immediately upon them coming back to you. That

210
00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>will likely help you and all the other stations listening

211
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>if the idea is infrequent. Agreed, agreed, Yeah, so asking

212
00:09:57.639 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>for their ideas good. And then Dan comes along the

213
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>he says, not only is it too short to wait,

214
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:04.159
<v Speaker 1>is actually illegal to do so. The rules say you

215
00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:07.720
<v Speaker 1>have to id every ten minutes or at the end

216
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 1>of the communication, so that station should be iding after

217
00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:14.639
<v Speaker 1>every q so. And then some guy came along and says, well,

218
00:10:14.639 --> 00:10:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that rule didn't apply to me because I'm not in

219
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the United States. Blah blah blah blah whatever. Okay, yeah,

220
00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:24.519
<v Speaker 1>quite literally, you're being too persnickety on that reply there. Yeah,

221
00:10:24.759 --> 00:10:28.240
<v Speaker 1>maybe you haven't grown up yet. Yeah that makes sense. Okay,

222
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:31.960
<v Speaker 1>it's the dude's name. I don't know. But more back

223
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to the point with what Dan said. Okay, not only

224
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:37.080
<v Speaker 1>is it too long to wait, it's actually illegal to

225
00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:40.639
<v Speaker 1>do so. I disagree. I disagree it's illegal to do so.

226
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.639
<v Speaker 1>Dan is correct when he says it's required to ide

227
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:47.159
<v Speaker 1>at the end of a communication, But in my mind,

228
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>your PoTA activation is the communication. Just because you're talking

229
00:10:50.840 --> 00:10:53.919
<v Speaker 1>to multiple people doesn't mean you haven't stopped the activation.

230
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.279
<v Speaker 1>You haven't gone qRT, you haven't put the mic down

231
00:10:57.320 --> 00:11:00.840
<v Speaker 1>and packed up and gone home. You're still going if

232
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 1>I work one contact, which would would mean that I

233
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 1>don't activate the park. So let's say ten. If I

234
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 1>work ten contacts or I work one hundred and ten

235
00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:12.639
<v Speaker 1>contacts on the potoactivation, that's one PoTA activation. Assuming I

236
00:11:12.679 --> 00:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>do it within the twenty four hour UTC day, that's

237
00:11:15.639 --> 00:11:18.039
<v Speaker 1>one PoTA activation, and I should ID at the end

238
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:20.879
<v Speaker 1>of I should idea every ten minutes, absolutely, but I

239
00:11:20.879 --> 00:11:24.679
<v Speaker 1>should IDA at the end of that complete set of

240
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.320
<v Speaker 1>activation contacts. I don't think in the best spirit of

241
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 1>the rules to end your to IDA at the end

242
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of every communication means if you're working a pilot and

243
00:11:34.519 --> 00:11:36.279
<v Speaker 1>working one hundred people, that you have to IDEA a

244
00:11:36.399 --> 00:11:38.320
<v Speaker 1>hundred times. I don't think that's what it means, or

245
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.759
<v Speaker 1>at least I don't interpret it that way. So I

246
00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.559
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with what I see what he's saying, and

247
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>he's not wrong. I'm just not defining the communication the

248
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>same way that Dan is. I would like to know

249
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 1>what you guys think about that specific topic inside of

250
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.519
<v Speaker 1>this whole topic. Put a comment in the video, blow,

251
00:11:53.559 --> 00:11:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to know what you think. There's a few

252
00:11:55.200 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 1>more comments in here, but they're all kind of basically

253
00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 1>the same thing. I mean, the guy was obviously the activator,

254
00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>was obviously not iding often enough, no question there. If

255
00:12:05.159 --> 00:12:07.759
<v Speaker 1>he was iding more than ten minutes, he was not

256
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 1>iding often enough. But it's on you also, you as

257
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.559
<v Speaker 1>the hunter. You could go act to talk to him

258
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>and ask for his call sign. There's nothing wrong with

259
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:19.879
<v Speaker 1>that either. I understand you don't want to do that,

260
00:12:19.919 --> 00:12:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, well, I shouldn't have to, And I

261
00:12:21.440 --> 00:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>guess technically you're correct, But how much do you want

262
00:12:24.639 --> 00:12:26.159
<v Speaker 1>to be right? Do you want to be right and

263
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>not make the contact and not have that log that

264
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:31.039
<v Speaker 1>person content. Maybe you need that state for worked all states.

265
00:12:31.080 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you need that park because you're park hunter. I

266
00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:36.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Is it worth not making the contact just

267
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.600
<v Speaker 1>because you think he's not operating correctly and something else?

268
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, and this is just kind of my own

269
00:12:44.120 --> 00:12:46.440
<v Speaker 1>personal thing as well, but it seems to me like

270
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>if you ID after every transmission that screams new operator.

271
00:12:51.639 --> 00:12:54.440
<v Speaker 1>To me, everyone starts somewhere You learn as you go,

272
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.200
<v Speaker 1>you get better. We should all be doing parks on

273
00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:00.600
<v Speaker 1>the air pilops and getting better, getting to be better operators.

274
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 1>You'd always strive to be a better operator. I would

275
00:13:02.720 --> 00:13:04.879
<v Speaker 1>like to know what you guys agree about this entire

276
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.600
<v Speaker 1>topic and article. I'll put a link to the article

277
00:13:08.759 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 1>in the description in the in the in the description blow,

278
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:13.240
<v Speaker 1>you guys can go check it out in the comments section.
