VFR position reporting

Robet Coffey writes:

Sometimes when flying near untowered airports I will report my position
relative to the airfield on the CTAF. If by some chance (rare) I am near
the pattern altitude when passing by I think it a good idea to advise
inbound & traffic in the pattern.

That is my belief as well. I think it's not really possible to
provide too much information to other pilots, so unless the frequency
is bursting with traffic (highly unlikely), the more information one
provides, the better, for both S&R and for other pilots who may be
nearby with no other way of knowing that you're in the area.
