xxgoldxx, I agree totally but....
Back to Two Dogs original post
Heard three times today flying in North Queensland.

BN CENTRE... ABC top of descent placename, request traffic.
ABC... BN CENTRE, No reported IFR traffic.
BN CENTRE... ABC, left eight thousand, on descent placename.

No mention of distance or azimuth. Where does this leave the poor old VFR pilot; in the dark I would say.
Very valid concern.
'All Stations' broadcast of Distance and/or Azimuth are not actually required by AIP.
Maybe it should be.
