Speaking of which, I eventually decided that when they're doing that and
I need to start making calls, I'd just start making them, and too bad
about stepping on his transmission. (Flying a glider, I don't have a lot
of time in the pattern to wait for him to get done counting out the
individual parcels in his baggage compartment.) The way I figure it,
since he's 50 miles away, my transmission will be really weak down where
he is, so it won't interfere. And likewise, my transmission will
overpower his at my airport, so the people who need to hear me will hear
me.

The question I have for the group is this: does that actually make
sense, or am I just making up a load of baloney and messing with these
poor guys' radio calls?

Yeah, it is about right though a hetrodyne (the squeal from two people
at once) MIGHT be heard on the ground, but if you can't hear the ground
on the far end it is unlikely they will hear you.

Good point. Thanks!
