Narrative:

On feb/xa/99 I was dispatched to deice/anti-ice aircraft on west pad at runway 5 at ZZZ. I was the driver of #2 truck and had no communication with aircraft. Truck #1 was communicator. My radio was inoperative, so I was unable to communicate with other truck as well. Truck #2 followed truck #1 into deice and when completed backed off. With air carrier, the #1 truck which sprays the left side of the aircraft also has communication with the crew. As the deicing crew in truck #1 were inexperienced, there was a lack of communication with the aircraft crew and improper procedures were followed in the deicing/anti-icing of aircraft xyz. There was an FAA observer in the jump seat on the flight and the flight waited approximately 2 1/2 hours before being deiced.
