UHF channel etiquette for convoys that are not a club

Sam WTAS

Ad-hoc three-car weekend. We stuffed the channel plan. Someone stayed on 40, someone used a duplex out of habit, someone had the squelch so high they heard nothing.

What do you agree in the car park? The comms page is the textbook. I want the two-minute brief.

Car park brief: simplex channel, backup channel, who speaks at crossings, and a radio check before the bitumen ends. Duplex stays a named decision.

And a “last vehicle calls clear” habit so the lead does not invent a gap.

Squelch so high you hear nothing is how convoys ghost each other. I will add a squelch check to the two-minute brief.
