Many years ago in a far off place to our north got cleared off HF to call the tower at 30 miles.
Me banjiwhatsname tower VHxyz 30 miles inbound.
Tower Vhxyz cleared to land
Ah not much traffic thinks me.
10 miles out there is obviously lots of traffic.
Me: tower VHxyz confirm cleared to land?
Tower: Vhxyz cleared to land
Me: there is a lot of traffic
Tower: yes, they are also cleared to land
