All you have to do is announce ATS not available, airspace is restricted to approved operators and CTAF procedures apply. All airports should then have a CTAF frequency based on tower in the ERSA and weather ATS is available on the ground in ERSA or via NOTAM where ATS is expected.
Or ASA could maybe get some more staff? Just an idea.
