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.
