Not really. Radio position reports are often missing, or they are

I really like when you call someone who just gave a position report for
more detail or clarification, and they never answer. G

Just recently, I heard someone give MY exact position, including
altitude! Three unanswered requests later, I finally visually picked
them out on the opposite side of the airport. They meant 4 miles EAST,
instead of 4 miles WEST. Boy, did I sit up and take notice when I heard
their call.
