Narrative:
Took runway 14 behind a C172 on txwys T and G, with an aerostar on 2 mi final. The C172 delayed takeoff roll and the CTAF was jammed with a stuck microphone. As soon as the C172 lifted off, I started the takeoff roll, being unsure how close the aerostar was behind me. When I passed the C172 at about 600 ft AGL, we were about 1/4 mi off his right wing. I have to question dispatching a jet aircraft to a field with a pattern full of light singles on sunday afternoon.
