Last Saturday, Lyneham gave me the same squawk as others on frequency. This wasn't just for a FIS either, it was for clearance to transit their Class D. And they were able to use their radar to inform me when I was entering their airspace, and to give me my position when they handed me over to the next frequency, despite what Bright-Ling says. They identified me by having me squawk Ident after giving me the squawk, and I presume the traffic was light enough that having identified each aircraft they could remember which was which. I'd also imagine that since I was not being given an official radar service, they wouldn't be allowed to give me radar vectors, but I don't know?
Not sure what this adds to the conversation, but I thought I'd say it anyway!
