Working hard, as I tried to explain in my post, it is not my intention to air 'unwarranted slurs'. I was just showing how utterly distracting these PAN calls can be compared to erroneous calls to operations. If it makes you feel better...if a superduper commercial pilot would do his PA on 121.5 it would be the same kind of distraction. However they usually do this on the active fequency, and we all have a laugh.
(mind you, this only takes up about 0,000005% of air time)
