Blocked can also apply to a garbled transmission. Often you can tell when a transmission is blocked by a squeal or tone, but not always. So in the case when I don't hear it, or it's garbled thru interference or whatever, I appreciate a pilot telling me 'blocked'.

What really toasts my onions is the opposite, when I give an instruction, get no reply, throw him an "over!", and he says "You were blocked." How the hell do I know the transmission was blocked and didn't go out unless someone says "BLOCKED"?
