But it strikes me that there maybe another station on same freq. Which I
can hear, but some others may be able to hear.  Am I interfering with
other station?  If not am I doing a disservice to myself?  Should I even
being worrying about this?

Darryl,

In actuality, here is how it really works:

1.  Find a quiet freq.
2.  Listen for about 5 seconds
3.  Ask if the freq is in use
4.  Wait not more than 2 seconds
5.  Start calling CQ

If the frequency is in use by someone else, you will quickly find out!
