Useless radio transmissions

Making 30+ second long position reports, 4500 feet over some
non-descript / podunk town. More annoying when the broadcaster does
so in broken english. Even more annoying when the broadcaster does
so every 5 minutes!

Even more annoying when the broadcaster neglects to mention what airport.

Doug makes and excellent point. The rest of you have brought up a
subject which get me too.
I would rather a pilot would err on the side of caution than to not say
anything and cause and serious upleasant situation.
Perhaps more pilots should attend some wings programs and learn the
proper techniques.
Many pilots do not use proper terminology on the radio. Years ago, I
was one of the worst on the radio. With study and proper training, I
was able to overcome my short falls.
In order, the three essentials to flying are Aviate .Navigate
Communicate.
I teach my students to think before they speak.
Address with whom you desire communication.
Announce who you are.
Where you are.
What you want.
When you are at an uncontrolled airport, Announce the name of the
airport at the beginning and also at the end of your transmission.
These are the traditional and expected patter techniques.
For more information on the subject, read Section 2 Radio
Communications Phraseology and Techniques in the Aeronautical
Information Manual.
