CHAPTER 1COMMUNICATIONS TECHNIQUE

1Introduction
1.1 The procedures and phraseology in this sectlon have been lald down with the object of ensuring uniformity in
RTF communications with persons of diverse nationalitles and languages.

1.2 The importance of the correct use of accurate and precise phraseology cannot he over-emphasised. On
occasions, however, it may be necessary to extend or modify the phraseology but care should he taken not to
confuse or prejudice basic meanings or intentions.

2 Speech Technique
Correct enunciation of words, spoken at a uniform rate in avoice pitchedsomewhat higher than normal but
preserving the rhythm of ordinary conversation will do much to assist satisfactory reception of radio messages.To
avoid clipped transmissions, it is important to depress the wansmit sitch fully before speech is
commenced and to avoid releasing it before the trans1nission is complated. Radio operators should
endeavOur to use clear, concise sentences and to eradicate such obvious faults as hesitation sounds, verbosity,
lowering of voice and blurring of consonants. This will ensure maximum efficiency and prevent the need for irritating
repetitions. Speak directly into the microphone and avoid touching the microphone in any way as this may
introduce distortion.

3 Word Spelling Alphabet

The ICAOword spelling alphabet is given overleaf with the pronunciation in parenthesis for
each letter and the
syllables requiring emphasis are underlined. The alphabet is to be used at all times when it is required to indicate
letters except for particular letter groups which, by every-day use, have become
unmistakable, e.g. QFE, ETA, etc.
