One thing a LOT of pilots don't do right. When you call fligh****ch,
you should give your position on your initial callup. This is because
although it's all the same frequency, there are different transmitters.
If you don't give your position, he has to reply on ALL the
transmitters he has becuase he doesn't know WHERE YOU ARE!

I hear this mistake time and time again

I used to make this mistake all the time because I was not taught the
correct method for contacting Flight Watch during my training.

During one call I received quite the tongue-lashing from a particularly
crabby Boston Flight Watch specialist about including my location and,
presto-chango, no more mistake.
