I too cancel VFR sar mostly on the radio and on two occasions in 3 years been met with a gruff atc informing me that "the preferred method is by phone" most are accommodating and happy to cancel for me however. I prefer to cancel by radio and will continue to do so despite the objection of 1 or 2 atc's as the electricity is free. If I could only get class c and d towers to cancel it to - would be good but hard for them as I understand they have no internal connection to censar and have to ring on the same number we use.
