Ron,

I wouldn't bother sqawking IFR.


Huh? 7600 has NOTHING to do with IFR. It's the lost comm squawk. It
would have helped ATC tremendously to know what was going on with this
guy they were talking to. There was a very real point in setting 7600.
How could it not be?


He was VFR outside of any airspace that required communications and
going to land. Just how would 7600 done a whole lot for this situation?
