You might be able to achieve your goal of "uninterrupted" or "private" to some degree by using a digital protocol such as DMR. As such, you could form your own "Talk Group (TG)" and call specific stations to participate in the TG. Only stations with the correct settings (Color Code, Time Slot number and Talk Group number) could easily participate. You would be sharing the frequency with others in one of two time slots.

Note that other stations casting a wide net (so to speak) could still find and participate in the conversation if they bothered to do so. But, they would need to do so more deliberately and generally that doesn't happen. So, still wouldn't be private (in the encrypted or detectable sense), but total privacy and exclusivity is not permitted (in the USA at least).

Just to clary some things i left out.

Me and my friends all have a European radio amateur license class 2 and we are looking into if PL over the public frequencies (430-440 MHz on which license-free radios are permitted to operate) is possible and legal.
Sorry to be blunt, but you are talking utter nonsense. There is no European “public” license free frequency allocation between 430 and 440.

The public radio service throughout Europe is known as PMR446. Details are here:
