Sometimes I wonder why things that work all over the world don't seem
to work in the US... like radios in gliders.

A failed radio is pretty much unknown in the part of the world where I
live. I didn't know that German technology was that far advanced.

On my airfield a radio call stopped a pilot from ruining his day twice
within the last six weeks.
Says a lot about the pilot - but he's the type of guy who would be a
typical candidate to confuse rudder waggle and release unexpectedly.

Two or more pilots, on working radios talking at the same
time....."stepped on"...will cause nobody to hear
transmission....happens all the time...

I know onw glider port where a particular tow pilot gives a running
play by play of everything that is happening every where around the
field.....he never stops talking....you cannot get in a word
edgewise....

Signal has non of these issues...
