Thanks. I was aware of the voluntary nature of TRSA's,
which is why I specified VFR and asked if participation was
encouraged/permitted, not required. Let me ask the same
question in a more practical setting.

If you were flying XC VFR /X and your direct route took you
through a TRSA would you make a call and try to participate,
descend to fly under/alter course to avoid, or just fly on
through?


I'd make a call and try to participate. ATC may or may not be able to
provide services, it all depends on whether they can see an adequate primary
radar target. I wouldn't alter my course or altitude in any case.
