something like "Amateur 146.52 MHz, GMRS Channel 1"?


My understanding is that you get a lot more room for "remarks" than the
conrollers see. So if you want to alert SAR that you have a life raft
(and it is therefore worth looking for you when you crash in freezing
water) go for it. But if your message is "VFR gps" (ie please cheat and
give me direct) or "I want X, Y, Z approaches" you have to keep it short
and near the front.
