==Sources advising for the use of the term "over" when ending a conversation on an FM repeater specifically relating to amateur radio:==== Over, Back to you, Over to you ==Why does it matter? In regards to the use of the word "over" on an FM repeater, it does not really matter. It is not important and the only reason I started looking into guidance from various sources is because it was brought to my attention that it should be addressed. I expected a reasonably definitive determination, however, I just don't believe it is necessarily defined as part of Amateur Radio Operating Practice and Protocol. It is just something that some hams say, and others don't. ===Sources advising for the use of the term "over" when ending a conversation on an FM repeater specifically relating to amateur radio:=====Sources advising against the use of the term "over" when ending a conversation on an FM repeater:=====Sources advising against the use of the term "over" when ending a conversation on an FM repeater:=====Unclear Recommendations=====Unclear Recommendations=====Conclusion==There are simply going to be instances in amateur radio where there is no clear definition on a particular aspect of protocol, such as how one should conclude a transmission on an FM repeater. In the absence of any specific requirement by the repeater owner or, if it is a club repeater then by their own rules, say "over" if you wish to, or don't. You need be most concerned that the last thing you say on your transmission is your call sign if it is going to be your final transmission for the time being.
