annoyed that they don't put the Springfield ATIS/AWOS freq on the plate.

Of course they don't. It might convenience the pilot.

And then we wonder why so few private pilots get instrument ratings,
and so few of those actually stay current. It's just one of many
system gotchas.

Sorry, I'm ranting. I just got done with doing recurrent training for
some pilots, and the one thing they all had in common was this - they
all had more problem with gotchas like this than anything else.
