I was thinking of something along the lines of a quick description, such
as " --- centered on ---" then, "tune to blah blah blah for further
information."

You seem to be underestimating the number of NOTAMs that are generally
active at any given time. We're not just talking TFRs. There are lots of
other kinds of NOTAMs that a pilot may need to know about, and if a
dissemenation system is going to be set up on the radio frequencies, they
all need to be included.

If you had already done your homework, then the quick description would
tell you already knew about it, then you could ignore the tuning somewhere
else part. If it was something new that you were not aware of, then you
could check it out.

If you had already done your homework, you wouldn't need to hear about the
TFR on the radio.

Just another idea. It does seem like some people do their best to find
out, but due to delays, or time to get to the airport, or pop ups, they
still get caught.

There really just aren't that many NOTAMs that pop up at the last minute,
even TFRs. Most of the TFR violations are pilots who simply didn't bother
to get the available information.

Granted, it is a much higher percentage of busted notices, because of
total failure to attempt to get the information.

If you mean that most violations are due to failure to get the available
information, then yes...agreed.
