To attempt to enter an active QSO (other hams talking) by saying "BREAK" is a mistake. It is obnoxious and makes you sound as though you come from a radio group other than hams. Simply announce your call sign between their transmissions. You do not say "break" as a means to enter the conversation. For example, two hams or talking and you want to add to the conversation, you wait for a pause when no one is transmitting and say, "A0NEW" (use your call sign) and then wait to be acknowledged. If you're acknowledged then you've been invited into the conversation. To attempt to enter an active QSO (other hams talking) by saying "BREAK" is a mistake.

The ARRL originally reserved the [[Use of Break in Amateur Radio]] to be spoken as a double break, as in "break break" and only for an emergency.
