CG,
Excellent point, the CTAF up to 1000ft. How about RAPAC or similar presenting a case for it to extend to 1500ft, or even 2000? Would you overfly a CTAF by 500ft clearance at an airfield, and not (at least) listen out on that frequency, as a matter of airmanship?
Since the area is the boundary of so many choices of frequency, maybe it would give an additional comfort factor to those who need it
