I was returning to LOM today and after one plane had landed but not yet
cleared the runway, a pilot at the approach end announced "position and

This technique is used to encourage go-around practice for those die
hard "airmen" who can afford goggles and scarves (not to mention an
airplane) but not a hand held radio.

The people I have seen do position and holds at non towered airports are
also the kind that have radios but use them only for transmitting.
