The frequency box for the VOR on the sectional chart has frequencies for
contacting FSS. Learn how to read it. It tells you when to listen on the

VOR
frequency, and what frequency to transmit on to contact FSS.


I only had to do this once, meaning listening on a VOR while transmitting on
another frequency. I sorta knew how to do it, but never having done it, I
was a little confused in the cockpit. I couldn't land at my intended airport
due to high crosswinds, so I had to close my flight plan on the radio, not
the telephone. Well, I did it, but I found it distracting and hard to hear
the FSS person over the VOR ident. This one had the voice saying the name
over and over. I always wondered if I did something wrong.

When you use the VOR for remote transmissions do you always hear the the
ident? Is there another way?

Thanks,
