0059 "Wildfire" IS on under CDO on USB.

This made a mess of the frequency here ... CDO eventually ran an SSTV and went off about 0112.

"Empty Garden" - Elton John, ID, "Ev'ry time we say goodbye" - Ella Fitzgerald, "Evil woman" - Electric Light Orchestra once in the clear.

S7.

Seems to me bad form to come on without checking the frequency and stepping on another pirate.

The one pirate may not be able to hear the other, depending on how the atmosphere is behaving. It will happen more and more as the solar cycle improves. It's just part of the game.
