Dial the number. I've done it plenty of times. If it's slow they'll talk to
you and on the radio at the same time, if not they'll have another
controller fill in for them for a minute.

How can you talk to the controller on the telephone while he is working
traffic?

I know I'm happy it's been done like that and I'm sure there are a few
controllers out there that appreciate the same.
For me I have learned just as valuable a lesson by talking to the
controller
without it having to have escalate in to anything else. I would suggest
that anyone who has a beef with a controller try talking directly to
that
controller first. Then after that if you are not satisfied, consider
calling a supervisor.
