Aerbabe - Talk about a terrible attitude! I hope you were just kidding.
The less class D expansion we have, the better.
Obviously I accept that control is desireable for some busy airspace; but any encroachment on currently uncontrolled airspace must be completely justified and not arbitrarily expropriated to build up the ATC empire.
There is room in the sky for us little people, who often fly without transponders or radios.
To get back to the main post: "it all depends". If there is not much radio traffic, I usually call in, and ATC invariably appreciates the courtesy. If the frequency is busy, I keep off the air. I agree with Speedbird.
