Griffo Very astute. As you have pointed out the half wound back system is a stuff up.
VFR pilots who are supposed to be monitoring and answering IFR in many cases don't even know where the IFR position is located.
In the pre AMATS days pilots were given a directed traffic information service by a skilled and highly trained FSO.
That service no longer exists. The closest ICAO airspace that brings in VFR traffic is class D. Can have it en route but it will be very expensive and it will not address any measurable safety issue.
