1261: I only check PPrune in the week at work. This makes the day go slightly quicker
, hence the apparent lack of interest.
Groundbound: I understand that you are informed of the service you receive and that is the only service you should expect. This is what makes me question the point of having this separate call sign in the first place.
So if you can receive a RADAR Service from an APPROACH call sign, what's the point of having a RADAR call sign at all.
Personally, I think it was a way of "showing off" when the facility had radar installed, in much the same way as Heathrow has a DIRECTOR to show how big and importand it is
