Default VFR position reporting

"Jim Macklin" writes:

Although VFR position
reports are usually given directly to FSS Radio on one of
the frequencies publish on the sectional chart or in the
AFD, you can give a VFR position report to ATC even if you
are not in radar contact, just call Center [call sign] VFR
position report. They will be able to record the report and
are happy to do so, particularly in remote areas.


This is good to know. I thought only FSS was willing to take position
reports, and that you had to request flight following with ATC in
order to have them record your position.
