I really enjoy listening to 121.5. Yesterday I heard (what sounded to me like) a military controller asking an aircraft to identify itself and occasionally get to hear a PPL give a route broadcast that goes on for a minute or two...about the same length as the ribbing s/he gets from others monitoring the frequency. I also regularly hear a controller trying to contact some poor soul who has not dialed up the correct com frequency.
Check 6 How do you manage to get intercepted so much? I've flown in Swiss airspace quite a bit and have never
seen a fighter or heard one. Usually, I'm looking out at the beautiful Alps so I do have my "eyes outside" a good deal of the time. Do you advise them you are happy to be intercepted or do you just turn your radio off so that you take some pics?
Cheers,
