Narrative:

Preparing for takeoff at columbia, mo, FSS called us after we announced our departure intentions on CTAF. They asked if we wanted to copy our clearance. We told them to standby and we would call and copy the clearance when airborne. They continued to call during our takeoff roll and we did not answer until safely airborne. FSS specialists should not continue to call an aircraft if they are aware the aircraft is in a critical phase of flight.
