I'd agree with this logic. It is establishing a QSO, albeit on a
different frequency. Similarly, a pager could be used to send signal
reports, when there's only a 1 way path. For example, I can hear
someone on HF, but they can't hear me, I could send a page saying "UR
5x1, can't reply, amp no go" . Now this is becoming a real time,
cross band, cross mode QSO, and those ARE legal. :)
