The only reason I can think of, and the only times flying in the CONUS
I've
been asked this question, is if I'm going to be passing closely to another
aircraft so they can be given the heads up; "United 2440, you'll be
passing
under a B-52 at 33,000 feet, report traffic in sight". Who's the conflict
with
"above FL600"? And I'm assuming his ridiculous comment about not reporting
his
"true altitude" implies he stopped sqawking Mode C?


Mode C altitude above FL600 reads out as FL600 regardless of actual
altitude.
