I've been a controller for over 23 years and I've never heard of such a

Hi Steve, are you in a TRACON or Center? Which facility? I got a taste
of international ATC last week flying charters in the Caribbean. On a
trip from San Juan to Mustique we talked to SJ Approach/Center,
Juliano (French), VC Bird (Antigua) and Piarco (Trinidad). The last
controller didn't have radar and relied on our position reports. Thank
God for onboard TCAS.
