Technically, that is correct.

Let's say that you and I are conversing. If I say over and out, that
indicates that the last transmission is yours - I am clear of the
channel once your transmission is ended.

What if I ask you a question on my last transmission?

If it requires a response from you, then it's over. If transmission
is reinitiated, then you go back to square one in protocol. If the
question does not require a end response from you, then over and out.

However, all this is mute because anybody who has ever listened to
marine VHF along the east or west coast, it's as bad as CB. :)

Later,

Tom - waiting for some CB'er to flame me.
