Default Calls on the radio

Hello,

This might have been brought up in the newsgroup before but I couldn't
find anything about it.

When going to a new airport, the AD would have sometimes something like :
Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, IN


I would just call them Monroe Tower. Leave out the "County" part; it
doesn't add anything.

Consider the case of multiple airports in the same city; wouldn't it
be confusing if people called both Kennedy Tower and LaGuardia Tower,
"New York Tower"?

Another trick is to just call them "Tower", and wait to see how they
respond :-)
