I think you need to get out there a bit more and operate away from the radar coverage. They aren't all under good radar coverage!
Once again, on the flight and route you proposed, how often does your GPS change the "nearest" ATC frequency?
MikeHatter, a flawed argument indeed.
Every time a pilot looks down and changes the tunes they are listening to (or GPS screen for nearest ATC unit) whilst in Dick's NAS is taking them away from looking outside!
