Hi Paul,

I don't own the highways either,  but I'm going to be pretty
mad if you are on my side of the road going the opposite way!

It's merely an act of courtesy to not "steal" someone elses
frequency.  Of course,  the question then is.....what is
your frequency?  1/3 a hkz,  1/2 a hhz,  or 2 khz?  Some
stations seem to think that anyone within 4 khz above or
below is stealing their frequency. 

A debate that will never end (at least until some get a better
front end on their rcvr!)
