Taxiing out of ATL last night, I changed radio 2 to guard and selected radio 1 for ground, but didn't change the transmitter from 2...

Me- "Ground Delta xxx D short of G with P...."

Voice- ONNNN GUAAARD!!!

Me- "Doh..." (changes xmitter)

Me- "Ground, blah blah blah"

Same Voice- OOONNNN GUAAARD!!!

(I frantically look down and try to figure out the problem"

Same Voice- "kidding, Delta xxx, Atlanta Ground, taxi runway 8R via taxi G and E, verify you have ATIS P"

Me- (read it back while half way laughing still) "What, you didn't hear that i have P on guard?"




.. that was a good one.

Anybody expecting Mumbai Control on HF is a TOTD. Just say "good day" to Muscat, tune the Mumbai VHF freq and wait for Mumbai on VHF.

Hah, I was flying DTW-GRU about a year ago, and the ATL flight couldn't get PAP Center to answer at about 1 or 2 am. So, I whip out my phone and play the classic ring tone using the hand mike. Rring, rring! "Is there a Delta flight calling Port-au- Prince?". We got a good laugh out at the bar the next night with the ATL crew.
