That's because Litchfield doesn't HAVE any frequencies, not even a Unicom. No
little "U" at the end of the airport info block on the chart. The AOPA airport
directory says that 122.9 is monitored, but this is strictly unofficial.

However, one of the big deficiences (IMHO) of the WAC charts is that they simply
say "U" without specifying WHICH unicom frequency it is. This was fine back in
the good old days when 122.8 was *it*, but is lacking in the current airspace.

However, the advantage of having the entire USA in one relatively small book
far outweighs the disadvantage of not knowing the unicom frequency from the
chart. For that and a dozen other reasons (phone numbers, fuel, etc.) I carry
the AOPA Airport Directory right next to the Topo Atlas. That and I do check
the airport I'm flying to on Airnav to get the up to date info.
