Call-signs.

[Folla]

Goeie dag weer aan almal.
Is die gebruik van call-signs verbode, ek praat nie van reg. nr. nie.
Vb. Ek doen start-up by Kroon en groet almal as Foxtrot delta Whiskey en se call-sign Folla. Vir die tyd wat ek dan circuit's doen en in hulle lugruim is gebruik ek Folla as call-sign.
As jy dan in Magalies of Special rules West ingaan herhaal jy weer FDW met call-sign Folla en gebruik dit tot jy "noem dit uit call" na ander frekwensie.
Groete Folla

Hi Folla,
nee dit is nie wettig sover ek dit het nie. 'n call sign moet by CAA geregistreer word. Ek is seker daar is nie fout as julle a gaggle is wat vlieg en julle het onder mekaar dit doen nie maar jy kan nie daarmee broadcast nie. Hoe weet die volgende ou wat 2 min na jou roep die area binnekom wie is folla? Iemmand soos SAL het in die ou dae het Springbok gebruik of soos Fedair. Hulle het gewoonlik 'n naam met 'n vlug nommer aan gekoppel.

Hey Folla,

No that's not quite correct boet. Everyone might know you as Folla and in all your chatting on the chat frequency maybe, but in the circuit it's by registration.
So for example we often fly as a gaggle and chat on route, when we switch over to whichever frequency is needed I might for example say Dish is going in after ???whoever, but then use the correct radio call and use your registration...
So in short no, your call sign is nothing more than your microlight "handle".., there are many okes who fly who aren't on ML or avcom and won't have a clue who your talking about or talking to. Also remember that Kroons Frequency like aero dens is not strictly there own,.. 124.8... So anyone on that frequency would be able to hear you and therefore it would be incorrect....
Rather just use your reg..

Thanx, yes it makes sense, will keep it that way.
