"taking runway 32 for departure..."
Taking it where?? I need to use it too, and I doubt your airplane can carry the whole thing!!
Also, ditto on what NJA Captain had to say about uncontrolled fields. I'm usually up high until only a few miles/seconds out from the pattern, and you've been unknowingly talking all over the guy at a field 40 miles away. Also, I'm trying to monitor and talk to approach as well as my company during that time, so there's a good chance I didn't here that last call or two that you made.
On a note not really related to radios, but to uncontrolled fields-
DO NOT DO A RUNUP HOLDING SHORT BLOCKING ACCESS TO THE RUNWAY!!!!! I don't have to do one and you are in my way while I'm burning lots of gas.
