This is a shot in the dark, but it's JC so it's worth trying.

Today I was talking to the crew of Silver 2140 while inbound to Exuma, Bahamas on the radio and on the ground after our flight. If you happen to be a member here, shoot me a PM.

So what happened?

Nothing really, it isn't a "they cut me off, so I am going to beat them up after gym class situation." We had a cool conversation about island flying and I forgot to exchange information with them.

Recently overheard:
N123AB: "N123AB, I need assistance!"
Numerous feminine hygiene products: "You're on guard! En garde! On guard!"
ZLA: "This is Los Angeles Center on guard; all aircraft this frequency maintain radio silence. N123AB, go ahead."

That is what it's there for, ya?

Fixed. ;)
 
Whenever I flew out west it never seemed to be nearly as big an issue as the bag of tools flying around the east coast.

With that said, recently the guard nazi's have calmed down a lot from what I remember just a year ago. Did some new anti-depressant medication become available for pilots? (edit: or have I just become used to it)

I remember flying early one mornings and the center was doing various tests of transmitters on guard. One certain southeast-based airline actually chastised the controller for it. If I recall, it was something along the lines of:

Airline Known for Having Special Jackets: "Do you guys have to do this every day?!"

Controller: "Yep."

Said Airline: "Well, it's kind of annoying. This IS the emergency frequency, you know!"

Controller: "Why do you think I'm checking it?"
