UNAUTH LNDG -- FREQ CONGESTION.

Narrative

MMV TWR WAS CONTACTED ABOUT 7 MI OUT THAT WE WERE INBOUND LNDG WITH THE ATIS. THE TWR TOLD THE PLT TO RPT ON A 4 MI STRAIGHT IN FINAL. THERE WAS A LOT OF TALK ON THE FREQ ESPECIALLY WITH TRANSITIONING ACFT. THE PLT RPTED 4 MI OUT (LORAN C) AND GOT NO RESPONSE. HE RPTED 3 MI AND GOT NO RESPONSE. HE RPTED 2 MI AND THEN THE TWR RESPONDED WITH 'YOU WERE TOLD TO RPT AT 4.' THE PLT RESPONDED THAT HE HAD RPTED AT 4 AND 3. THERE WAS A CESSNA ON FINAL IN FRONT OF US. THE TWR SAID THAT WE WOULD BE #2 AFTER THE CESSNA AND 'YOU COULD MAKE SOME WIDE S TURNS IF YOU LIKE.' THE PLT SAID HE WOULD AND DID THE S TURNS UNTIL THE CESSNA LANDED. THE PLT THEN STRAIGHTENED OUT AND CONTINUED ON FINAL. AT THIS POINT A TRANSITIONING ACFT WAS TALKING TO THE TWR. THE PLT AT EVERY PAUSE IN CONVERSATION; BTWN THE TRANSITIONING ACFT AND THE TWR; ASKED IF WE WERE CLRED TO LAND (THE CESSNA WAS NOW CLR OF THE RWY). WE CONTINUED THE FINAL APCH WITH THE PLT STILL ASKING IF WE WERE CLRED TO LAND. BY THE TIME IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT THE TWR WAS NOT GOING TO GET BACK TO US (THE TRANSITIONING ACFT WAS STILL TALKING) WE WERE VERY LOW AND SLOW AND DID LAND. I HAD A GOOD VIEW OF THE SIT AND REALLY FELT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN UNSAFE TO ATTEMPT A GAR SO LOW AND SLOW. AFTER THE LNDG; A DIFFERENT CTLR GOT ON THE RADIO AND THANKED US FOR OUR HELP. I'M NOT SURE IN THIS SIT IF WE WERE RIGHT OR WRONG; BUT WHAT SCARES ME ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS THE POSSIBILITY OF A PLT WITH LESS EXPERIENCE AND STILL INVOLVED (OUR PLT HAS ABOUT 10000 HRS) BEING SO CAUGHT UP IN OBEYING THE RULES THAT HE MIGHT HAVE ATTEMPTED AND FAILED AT A GAR.
