Look at it this way - NO transmissions without listening first, either ALE soundings, beacons, or mailboxes of any kind, are permissible on the *shared* HF amateur bands, except in designated beacon areas or the automatic subbands ( where it is presumed by the FCC to occur, since unattended stations do not, and cannot, listen first for any other activity within range of the unattended station).
It does not matter how short a time the unattended interference signal is on either. If it disrupts a QSO, it is *too long*.
