Some stations will listen to multiple channels (16, port radio, marina, intership etc) so often if they are not responding on working channel the transmitting station will call on 16 and identify that it's 16 they are calling on.

Slight side issue, but can anyone point to a definitive document on marine RT phraseology?

Have a look here:
http://www.imo.org/Safety/mainframe.asp?topic_id=357
[/ QUOTE ] Thanks, I'll look around there. The actual link takes me to something I'd have to pay for, but I expect I'll find a download as well.
By the way, when I was searching I came across CAP413, the official CAA RT documentation, with yet a different definition ..
"ROGER - I have received all your last transmission.
Note: Under no circumstances to be used in reply to a question requiring a direct answer in the affirmative (AFFIRM) or negative (NEGATIVE)."

We (ex Royal Signals) always had it defined as
ROGER - I have received and understood your last transmission
but as long as the message gets through . . . . /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Please..... no more input! My brain is going to explode! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif
Until this thread began, 2 short days ago, which feel like 2 years ago, I really thought that I knew what to say and what was acceptable...... now, since reading all this, I've become so neurotic, I'm not sure I'll ever turn the VHF on again in fear of saying something wrong! /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

And then of course there is "COPY" as in "I copy that"; "Do you copy" etc.
My favourite and definitely not on my nerves is "Okey dokey" from a professional organisation whose training should be impeccable.

As to made-up alphabets: we called up a marina (for secrecy reasons: west of the Solent) last year " Alchemist requesting..." "how do you spell Optimist?" . "Alfa - Lima - Charlie..." "Howd'ya mean, Archie - Limbo - What???"

I can't stand people complaining about overheard vhf messages. Almost as bad as those who dig up old forum threads and add a post to them a week or more after the discussion has finished

A particularly obnoxious one I dubbed "Filippino Monkey" from his lythany: "filippino mooonkeyyy...no mama, no papa, only bananas...filiipiiiinooo mooonkeyyyyy".
I assure you, after three hours like that, you dream of torpedoing the damn idiot!
..and he must be a sailor on a ship, because I heard him in the Med as well as in the Atlantic (unless he got imitators!...).
[/ QUOTE ]
The fellow that taught me radio told me of the "fillipino monkey man". Apparently he's been doing it over 30 years and gets quite a reaction from any Phillipinos listening. And yes, people do immitate him.

.......Over and Out...... To me it is normal radio procedure drummed into me over 22 years of (British army) use.

I spent many years as a youngster sailing with a retired Army officer....
And he used 'over and out' all the time, in fact constantly.....
I am now acutely conscious of the 'wrongness' of this according to 'pro word' based maritime communications........ but sometimes, particularly when I am very relaxed in a VHF conversation, I slip up, and deliver an 'over and out'...... and then curse when i've let the key off.....

I know - I overheard you on the VHF two weeks ago.
In fact, it was you wot made me start this thread in the first place.

You misunderstand me. I never say "Over and Out." I was explaining that I use both the words, but never together. I say 'Over' to indicate I expect and answer and 'Out' to indicate the transmission has ended. Guapa was saying that he thought using the words 'Out' and 'Over' was an Americanism.
