Not really. It was DUATS from the web. And I should have
realized that the lat/long made it irrelevant.


Oh? Is that normal for DUATS? Does it always provide NOTAMs nowhere near
your route of flight?


Well, it generally tells me about things that I suppose
could _conceivably_ be relevant. I always get the
"Micky Mouse" NOTAM in LA for example (some
150 miles off). Anything further than that normally
only turns up when I select the "non-associated FDC
NOTAM's" box, which in this case I didn't.



Shouldn't they just establish a "Warning" area instead of this
obscure CARF thinggy?


Warning Areas are charted, but this area appears to be off the charts.
The
charts that are normally used by civil pilots anyway.


Well, temporary Warning area then. As a flight planner,
I'm not really sure what precautions I'm supposed to take
when I'm informed that some "Central Facility" is reserving
altitudes.
