Not if you're already receiving flight following. If you're on flight

Agreed. See my reply to Paul. My point is that the alternative to FF
isn't trying to look up the "appropriate" frequency during an emergency,
it is to dial in 121.5. Obviously, if you are already talking to ATC you
don't change frequencies. This seemed so obvious as to not need stating,
but I guess at least a couple of people didn't catch that.

What about very busy airspace? Would they ask you to change frequency or
everyone else?
