Still, it's a bit strange with a basic service ... from a radar service. Then what's the point with the radar?
Allows the operator to keep their workload down and focus better on those who do want or need traffic information.
From now on I'll ask for traffic service if I know it's a busy piece of G/F airspace.
But of course keeping in mind that they may be too busy to give you that service and downgrade you to Basic anyway?
