Creampuff Thank you for noticing.
Snarek An interesting point you make. Indeed if I am in and out of cloud VFR may be 1000' away, however because of the rule changes in the early 1990's, below 3000'AMSL VFR may fly with their tail fin in the cloud. CLEAR of CLOUD operations are ONLY permitted with the carriage and use of VHF radio. Now how will that help if the VFR pilot does not know what frequency to listen for IFR traffic? I thought it was a silly exemption when it came out and my opinion hasn't changed. IFR aircraft talk in IFR reporting points, DME distance, radials etc which are often meaningless to VFR guys or at best unuseable, so even on the same frequency it is a poor mitigator.
