+ RADIOGRAM PRACTICE SESSIONS CONTINUE -

RADIOGRAM TIP #5: On phone, it is unnecessary and is considered bad form to say “check” before saying the check figures, or to say “To” before saying
the address.

RADIOGRAM TIP # 6: On phone, when saying the text, it is recommended to say “figures”... then say the figure(s).  E.g. - “Figure 4” would be written: 4 (one word).  “Figure group 458” would be written: 458 (one word).  Except on ARL numbered messages, the Arabic figures are shorter, quicker, and in some cases will avoid confusing them with homonyms. (E.g. - “two”, “to” and “too”.)  Note: In CW, this is a non-problem.)
