FCC rules have changed over the years.
You are not required to ID at the beginning of a conversation..only at
10min intervals and at the end of the conversation/QSO. Kerchunking a rptr
without an ID is still a nono if no conversation takes place. But getting
into a conversation does not require your call at the start, only at
10mins, etc

Pre 1996 prohibited hams from using sn autopatch from calling a business
for any reason, except for emergencies of life and property loss. The plain
English rewrite changed that to only businesses in which you had a
pecuniary interest. So calling a pizza place to order a large all meats
became legal. Also calling an auto shop to check on prices...by then though
cell phones were taking hold..

I did call a Pizza Hut on my UHF patch the day the rules changed to make a
divery order on the way home, and as I hung up the patch, I thought boy
that was strange....but perfectly legal...yet I had people asking later wth
did I do...I merely pointed them to Part 97, which as a licensed operator,
you are supposed to have read and keep up with.
