We're the pilots talking to each other on the radio?

I've only flown in 1 contest, but if I recall radio "chatter" was frowned
upon.

"Barking dogs" as Spratt called them, are definitely frowned upon.
However, radio calls in the service of safety are definitely encouraged
by the rules as well as popular opinion. "WB, I'm at your 7 o'clock and
turning inside..." type calls are more than welcome.
