Morno. You appeared to be obsessed with getting info on VFR. Could this be because at one time all VFR flew full position when above 5000' at IFR levels and that was 80% of the traffic you received .

Other countries show that there is no rational safety reason for this obsession .

The US FAA doesn't even recommend VFR have a radio in Class G and E.
I wonder why?

It's because mandating radio for VFR in G and E has no measurable effect on safety.
My suggestion is that you keep vigilant in all airspace when in VMC.
