How do you submit a NOTAM?

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.

I guess that I was extremely lucky because it was back in 1956 when
there were REAL Flight Service Stations. g

There were no Flight Service Stations in 1956. On March 1, 1960, Air
Traffic Communications Stations were renamed Flight Service Stations.

Oh wait. That only gets you the FAA if you are still in Alaska and don't
have to put up with the Lockheed BS.
