REFLECTOR: ATC Question

[Scott Derrick]

Legally you only need to inform a "Tower" of your experimental nature.
per the FAR's anyway.

Thats all I do, just the tower gets Experimental prepended to my call
sign. For all other comm with the ATC I use Velocity 647JA on initial
call up, and 7JA after that.
