It still suprises me though when I sit at work over an eight hour period and speak to only a dozen or so GA aircraft in the local area, despite many, many more routing around my little part of the world. It doesn't cost anything to call. Quite often I won't even assign you a squawk for a FIS or you don't need to be transponder equipped to receive any service at all in Class G. Most of the time, under a FIS, I have a pretty good idea where you are and can warn you if I feel you are straying towards CAS, or even into potentially close confliction with other traffic. If I was navigating around or close to CAS, I'd call someone for a service, just to get that warm, fluffy feeling inside!
