I was Chief Engineer at a radio station many years ago. Whenever our
transmitter tower lights went OTS, I called the nearest Flight
Service Station and explained the situation. A NOTAM was issued.

A while back, I had a light that was going to be out for a couple of hours.
In accordance to my past experience and regulations, I called my nearest FSS.
Of course, some dum**** from LockMart answered the phone and knew nothing about
how to generate a NOTAM. After a long delay, he gave me some usless phone
numbers that nobody answered.

I tried some other things, but finally gave up in disgust!

I someone has a good 24 hour number that would be answered by a real FAA
person, I am ready to copy.
