Radio Code
I was at Brands Hatch this weekend and last.
Over the radio I have heard people use the code 'Kilo19' when they refer to a driver. When someone says that the driver is 'Kilo19' what do they mean????? |

The code kilo one nine stands for no apparent injury when a driver is check by a doctor or paramedic.
But really they should be declaring the driver kilo one seven which stands for head injury |

The "Kilo" codes are an MSA thing - not used by the Ambulance Service or by Doctors outside of Motorsport

Well I don't know whose codes they are, but BSB use them and they've been adopted in Irish motorcycling as a result.
They can be quite handy as it cuts down on the time you have to spend on the radio. Takes a lot less time to say "Kilo Red, Kilo White" than "can I have a session stop and a rescue unit please"! There are a whole load of them, but I can never remember them all. Kilo 19 is used by us when a rider is up and apparently unhurt - but no medical examination would have been carried out. We also have one that's not technically on the books, but works very well for defining a situation - Kilo Pink. This refers to when the rider is currently having a total strop! |

I think both Mark & Greenbean are correct.
Although not an official MSA term, I believe it stems from the St John Ambulance service of codes which may no longer be in use. |

Beat me to it. I was gonna ask exactly the same question!
You weren't on post 12 at Brands were you, p15pathfinder? We were wondering what Kilo-1-9 was and said Ten-Tenths would probably have the answer. Phill |

Full List of Kilo Codes
For anyone who is interested here is a full list of Kilo codes that are used in bike racing, I presume they are exactly the same with cars:

Aaaaaaaaargh! What's the point in using a code so that the general public cannot intercept medical information when it gets published on the bloody internet!

As for codes......... I think you will find that they are not used in order to be secretive. They are simply used in order to cut down on lengthy radio traffic which would waste time.
When I was a fireman we had numerical codes and status messages, this was brought in purely for the speed of message transmission. Logical don't you think! |

They are used so that information about the condition of a casualty can be passed to race control without fear of the information being passed on, possibly before the relatives or friends of the casualty are aware. They have the added benefit of shortening transmissions.

Wouldn't worry about it - the kind of people who like to listen in will already have found out what these codes are and I doubt anyone else will take the time to learn them.
