Hello Rod and all,
The proper way of signing with a VHF station while remaining available
for further traffic is simply to clear with the station and say "out".
Taking an out is quite different of course than clearing, the voice
equivilent of the CW QRT. You may say it's an AR. This proceedure is
military and used by the Military Affiliate Radio Service, MARS, as well
as the Coast Guard on VHF maritime frequencies. Commercial proceedures
vary widely, but Hams have tended to follow military proceedures from the
beginning, and strictly adhere to them when handling formal traffic. Even
the ARRL message handling system is based on military proceedure,
although varies somewhat. (Probably some old Western Union ops, hi.)
You must have seen the old episodes of highway Patrol starring Broderick
Crawford. "Six two and even, over and out." I have never heard a real
police department say something so silly! "(Unit) 810 signal seven"
simply means that unit has arrived on scene. When he says "810 signal
eight" he is back in service. Again proceedure may vary somewhat, but in
all cases is clearly understood.
KB2VXA clear and listening, QRZ, out, seventy threeS, clear with VK3KBR,
BREAK and QSY to the next bull. Keep the greasy side down and the shiny
side up, good buddy.
