It's good that you called "QRL?....and that
may be "cool" to slip in close to somebody's "run" freq,
but the problem is that other stations calling him may not be
on the run stations freq....it's common to spread out a little.
So, in that regard, you could be causing QRM, especially 
to weak signal DX calling him.  It's also quite common 
for a run station to select a slightly "wide" filter so they don't miss 
the off-freq signals.
