Chip, you didn't mention enroute altimeter settings being different from

I've seen that condition in the Rocky Mountains, but I can't specifically

if I've ever seen it in the central and eastern U.S.

Controllers issue altimeter settings from ground stations. Where else

You get them off DUATS like the rest of us?

Yes, and they come from ground stations. There are no special enroute
airborne stations in the mountains.
