DO Radio Communication Guide
Good radio comms are critical for convoy safety. Here's the DO standard guide: **Call Signs:** Use your DO handle/nickname as your call sign. Keep it short and recognizable. **Standard Calls:** - 'All stations, all stations' — announcement to entire convoy - 'Marshal, this is [name], I am stuck at [description]' — stuck vehicle - 'Copy/Roger' — message understood - 'Negative' — No / not understood - 'Stand by' — wait for further info **Radio Discipline:** - Keep transmissions brief - Always identify yourself - Don't hold the channel unnecessarily - In emergencies, repeat 'MAYDAY' three times **Channel Protocol:** Lead marshal controls Channel 1. Do not break in unless urgent. Use Channel 2 for inter-vehicle chat during stops.
