Certainly sorts the Mike Echo Novembers from the Bravo Oscar Yankees and makes you feel less like a Tango Whiskey Alpha Tango when you are out there

And remember to stay off the emergency channel for gabbling about what you've caught

Hummmmmber Coastguard don't like it

Axe, the reasoning behind the whistling was on old MF/HF sets you had to tune the set in so a whistle registered/tuned in then you were ok to start transmiting, I haven't sailed with a set like that for a fair few years now though.

is there any reason in particular when i watch some fishing programmes...they whistle down the line/radio before they speak?

its baffled me for ages lol

its an old fishing tradition(as far back as radios go) the purpose is to clear the airwaves of bad spirits i hope this solves the mystery for you regards ,honest dunk.

Well done on passing, and well done for taking the course in the first place. Too many people see it as optional.
