Comment on Is there a “proper“ way to say “6:05 AM”?
HamSwagwich@showeq.com 11 months agoGenerally speaking US military time vernacular never uses the word “and” because it’s superfluous and confusing.
The idea is to condense the information into the smallest transmissible unit possible while eliminating any ambiguity.
“Oh six oh five” would be how you say it. The leading “oh” is to disambiguate a transmission dropout or interference with “sixteen.” It adds a checksum bit, if you will.
