One of the reasons that 126.7 can be cluttered is that many pilots just talk too much. Making 6 or 8 calls around the circuit is a waste of breath for no good reason and as for making calls on the area frequency, it seems that those that promote this practice have little or no idea on what happens in the outside world and what the risks or unintended consequences might be!
