This wasn't Abilene TX, was it?

They probably meant tower, ground, and clearance delivery (the
airport-specific channels) were all combined onto the tower frequency.
Approach generally stays on it's own channel, but often approach and
departure get combined too since the same person is handling both.

I would have done the same thing. Maybe it meant only if you were landing
in the Class C.

om...
I was approaching class C airspace for landing at the primary airport
for which the class C airspace is designated and I listened to the
ATIS. The ATIS said "all frequencies are combined on
TowerFrequency". So I tuned to TowerFrequency and made my radio
call to approach. The response that I got was that I needed to call
approach on the approach frequency. So, I guess that begs the
question ... when the ATIS says "all frequencies are combined", which
frequencies are included in "all frequencies"?

Thank-you in advance.
