In your routine soaring footprint, does ATC ever "work" you off of 1202?

Potomac Consolidated Tracon (PCT) in the mid-Atlantic area currently tags 1230 "Glider" on their scopes (are planning soon to switch the coding to 1202). Since we're never really in their Class B or C, they don't really need to 'work' us with comm, but use our signals to provide advisories to other traffic. Been working fine for years now, ever since we first negotiation a MOU with them long before 1202 was set aside.
