I don't know anything about what they printed but I am looking at the current
NACO low-altitude (L6) en route chart and see "Wichita (ICT) Mid-Continent
1338 L 103"

So, that tells me that Wichita Mid-Continent is ICT or KICT.

Ok, this isn't the first time this has happened, but this month's quiz
asks you for the airport ident of the airport you use if you can't get the
local altimeter settings. Ok, the plate says to use "Whichita
Mid-Continent", that part I got. But then the quiz answer says to look on
the en route chart to see the ident. Except I can't even find Wichita
Mid-Continent on the en route chart segment they printed, and even if I
could, I don't see how you get the ident off the en route. That's
something that's always annoyed me about en route charts, is that they
don't print the identifier. And yet this is at least the second time
where the quiz has expected you to get the ident off the en-route. So are
the quiz composers seeing something that I'm not? Or are they expecting
it's there because they're used to Jepp en-routes?
