Note, on HAM frequencies you'll hear people using callsigns.

The only way anyone even has a clue that you're using it "illegally" is if they complain...so don't give 'em a reason to.

Example - we had three cars in a convoy on the way back from border wars and we were on comms on a random frequency around 470.XXXX. Comms were around the lines of:

"54 call 06"
"06"
"54, tail car, moving to lane 2"
"06 Rgr"
"54 out"

Suddenly we hear "Control, this is 54, did you call me?"

I broadcast "Convoy go to Tac 2" and we switched channels IMMEDIATELY.
Wow I'd be scared shitless if that happened to me.

Where do you learn the proper terminologies for this?
