What's all this nit-picking about over the rules??
Good grief, if all the rules were being religiously followed, a *pileup*
could never exist. If you even *SUSPECT* another station may be using the
frequency you are getting ready to transmit on, to make a contact, you are
supposed to hold off until the you are sure the coast is clear.
Otherwise, you may be guilty of causing _intentional_interference_ and no
one would ever want to do that, right? Part 97 makes no exception if the
target station is a Seven-Oscar or Pee-Five....
