And not before being stripped of my flyingsuit whilst being forced to eat my Raybans.
My point is that air-to-air chat, unless for a specific operational reason is unnecessary and should not be encouraged. It only serves to diminish airmanship and degrade safety whilst encouraging others to practice poor habits. The aeronautical VHF radio spectrum is saturated now and under threat of being 'narrowed' by a European Commission keen to provide bandwidth to commercial entities prepared to pay a premium for its use and if we abuse such 'low-volume' frequencies as described (no pun intended), we truly risk losing them. Ramifications of that could well result in further frequency spacing adjustments to maximise the remaining bandwith, requiring avionics modifications and additional, burdensome costs to GA.
As for covering logbooks - I find old 1/2 mil charts do the trick nicely
