Hey Brothers:

Just had an extremely good training exercise in the house, impromptu, a few notes from FDTN and our TIC. I was frustrated at finding any good drills, not having the time to really re-invent the wheel. But I should have looked here first. This site always has so much to offer, I should have known better.

Hey Dean,

Thanks for posting up...

Is there a reason the small group prefers the handle? Is it a comfort thing?

If you are not using the transmitter anymore and the handle attaches easily than why not let the crews that want it, use it? And visa versa. If it gets it off the rig more often and in use, then how can it be a bad thing?

My department has a Bullard TIC and we are looking for input related to the use of the transmitter handle. We are no longer using the transmitter feature however their is a small group that would rather use the handle. Can I get some opinions on this topic.
