Kaz. I think you stated on a previous post
“So no-one will mind that I'm listening to Area still with the hope that some kind soul on Radar will tell me if I'm going to kill myself in a midair?”
I regularly fly in the Sydney area and monitor 124.55. Sometimes this frequency is silent for minutes at a time yet I have never once had ATC call me with a warning that I am close to another VFR. I have had close encounters many times and I remain as vigilant as possible.
Yet you tell me you are waiting for a “ kind soul ” to warn you.
Are you suggesting the 124.55 ATCs are not kind?
