You don't want to NORDO to squawk 7600?

Certainly not continuously, it sets off a very annoying alarm in terminal
facilities. I'd squawk 7600 for about a minute and then go back to my
assigned discrete code. It avoids that nasty alarm and aids tracking in
enroute facilities. One minute is plenty of time to make ATC aware that
you're NORDO, if they didn't know already, and they're going to consider you
NORDO until they hear from you.

That's interesting. What do the other controllers in the group think?


All the best,
