I bet you are right. Since it is not possible to fly under IFR below 1000
AGL, except taking off or on an approach, what difference does that make?

Well, since practically everybody uses GPS, and radar coverage is
essentially nationwide now, making sure your VOR is accurate within a
couple of degrees every 30 days, and also keeping a detailed record of
that, seems a bit out of date. Kind of like making sure your buggy
whip is in good condition every 30 days.


Radar coverage does not extend nationwide at low altitudes. In fact I
would
bet that 99% of the country does not have radar coverage below 1000' AGL.
This is where VOR accuracy really matters anyway.
