In a situation where a transmission to/from ATC is "interfered with"
by a second transmission I've always believed that it is useful to let all parties know that the tranmission was blocked, even if I suspect that I'm not the intended receiver. Until this thread, I never really thought much about this. But today it happened to me, and boy was it annoying. I was coming back to HPN. Tower issued me a long stream of instructions, including pattern entry, sequencing, and a traffic advisory. Somebody stepped on the tower, but I still got every word of what she said through the squeal. I was just about to reply, when some bozo popped up on the frequency with "blocked". So, yeah, I'm going to throw my vote in with the camp that says, "Don't say, 'blocked'". |
