When footprints cover multiple countries at the same time, do you speak English, or local language to stations in your country?

Good question,
I prefer in English. There are other operators listening and so they can understand the conversation. I hear a lot of Russian speaking operators on some fm birds. That way you don't know if they are pirates or amateurs. I don't understand a callsign in Russian and I don't know what they are talking about.
