I've used 122.95 (is that an obselete Unicom frequency?) for discrete air2air r/t for over 10 years without a problem. Yet
Oshkosh Unicom, Vienna ATIS, San Francisco Unicom, Libby Army Airfield Ops (USA), Gulfstream Ops at Long Beach, Birr Airfield Ireland, , Great Lakes Flight Centre Canada - and in the UK both Bristow Helicopter Operations, and the Helicopter operations frequency for uncontrolled sites.
So, your chat may just tramp across Bristows trying to co-ordinate a search and rescue operation. Unlikely, but I doubt you'd enjoy explaining your rationale in court.
