Seems like I get almost as many "say again" as actual replies to a
simple air to air chatter question. And then there's getting stepped
on, etc... I agree a radio call in conjunction with a visual signal is
a good idea. There are literally an infinite number of ways to screw
things up between the radio check and the "must work" transmission a
few minutes later.
