Oh S**t, how long has that been like that? 2 way communication required turns it into FAA class D equivalent.
2 way communication means you need to be communicating with ATC, and ATC needs to be communicating with you. That was supposed to be what GAAP turned into (i.e. class D) but not for class E.
To establish
2 way communication you need to contact ATC, and at a minimum have ATC respond with your callsign - according to the class D education.
It suggests that VFR aircraft currently operating in class E without contacting ATC are operating illegally.
