I'm not quite sure, but I don't think that it is legal, according to the

Wrong.
Part 97.305(a)(b)
(a) Except as specified elsewhere in this part, an amateur
station may transmit a CW emission on any frequency authorized
to the control operator.
(b) A station may transmit a test emission on any frequency
authorized to the control operator for brief periods for
experimental purposes,...

Actually, you're half right. Much of what I hear on the air is
seriously lacking in content and only a little better than not saying
anything.
