So far, every time I come out of ROG and request flight following to
it doesn't matter where, I get a discrete squawk that allows
departure to hand me off to Memphis Center, or Dallas, or Kansas City.
Coming out of LIT however I've never been given anything except a
local code and then about 15 miles out the familiar "radar advisories
terminated, squawk VFR, have a nice day".

VFR flight following is on a workload permitted basis.

If approach doesn't give you a hand off, just call center servicing the
area and pick up flight following through them.

If you know you have been given a local code, you may want to contact LIT
approach and ask if VFR flight following is available outside their
airspace.

They can answer accordingly or advise you what frequency to contact for
continuation of VFR flight following.
