Could be, would be, should be...whatever the case, the SZT airport was going
to have to hire a DEDICATED operator. Most uncontrolled fields around here
don't even have a RCO. In theory, I'm sure that you are right.

It isn't cheaper when you consider that it requires an operator.

It doesn't require a DEDICATED operator. There is no reason that the
squawk code could not be issued by the approach/center controller.
Typically, a non-busy airport would have no tower or a VFR tower, so
one-in, one-out. The code could be set by a remote landline from
approach/center, or it could simply use a fixed discrete code that
would not be used for other purposes in that sector.
