SD, You may not care, however, that is proper radio protocal. Chuck
I did some Internet search and did come up with one site that referred to the negative contact bit*as proper protocol.

*But to my mind that would be fine on working channels but on 16 it would just be clutter and not necessary.

*You call someone and get no response. OK fine the end.

I firmly believe you should get off 16 as soon as possible Just in case there is an emergency.

Make you call and move to a working channel.

I have heard the CG repremand someone for* Usless chatter on 16.
