Jot down freqs as you're handed off. It annoys them if they expect you to
call and you've forgotten, or mixed up, the freq. It happens.

Flip flop radios are a god-send when you go to a new frequency and nobody
answers. You can just flip back to the old frequency. Of course, since
nothing is perfect and everybody needs a backup, you should still write
down frequencies.

hehe Wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't a common occurrence. I've
lost a frequency a couple times when I've left it to contact FSS and had to
try a couple different frequencies to find them. Even copying the hand-off
frequencies down can result in a kneeboard full of numbers, and temporary
confusion, in a flight through busy airspace. Don't forget to cross them
off.
