One brief addition: If I'm leaving the airport area, I include my intended direction of departure so they can assess possible traffic conflicts. "Marion ground", ( they know who I'm talking to and that I'm on the right frequency) "experimental KR 211LF" (they know type of aircraft and N number) "Aeroflite hangar" (they know where I'm at on the field) "taxi clearance" ( they know what I want) "VFR departure, southwest" (they know my operation rules and departure direction) If I want the runway everyone else is using that's the end of the radio call. If I want a different runway I add the following: "request runway 11, intersection C for departure" (they know I want a runway other then the runway in use and can assess traffic conflicts) Larry Flesner
