Use VHF in Pie Cart

VHF Radio used so pilots become more confident  in  aircraft use. 

Suggest any radio call of a general nature be answered by transmission of “Elliott Field” at Base station. Aim in response pilot knows transmission has been received in flight. Position reporting or just acknowledge message received. should help practice. Standard channel Not a chat channel but one needs to practice standard procedures to gain confidence. However the listening channel  can be used on the specific glider frequency as required. Great to hear two aircraft today one a glider and other Powered hang glider contact each other to avoid possible conflict on final. Should be part of training anyway.
