Hello Seattle Approach,

Its Smokey 3 or 4 depending on the airplane. Based out of OLM as you know and we fly in crap weather almost daily (seems that way anyway) Its frequently IFR at the field but seems to clear heading north to Seattle. So I have to file but then need to do my duties when VFR is available. We have a discreet squawk and it seems I usually get questioned when I cancel IFR and you advise to squawk 1200. I decline flight following and many times have heard "verify negative flt following?" I then squawk our discreet code. Is there a better way? Would you like it in the comments of the flight plan who we are? Any information would be helpful and I will pass it on to the other guys.

Thanks for any info

Troy
