I would agree if I had experienced this - but in my experience nearly
all of the really important radio messages were understood by the
glider pilot (any we are flying on a pretty busy glider airport).



I know onw glider port where a particular tow pilot gives a running
play by play of everything that is happening every where around the
field.....he never stops talking....you cannot get in a word
edgewise....

Incredibly poor airmanship - how come that noone ever told him to shut
up in a way that this guy ought to understand the message?

How could an instructor talk to his solo student pilot if such a guy
is blocking the frequency?


Signal has non of these issues...

Well... watching this discussion it obviously has other issues...
