Default Calls on the radio

Considering that it is unlikely that there is a nearby tower assigned the
same frequency, anything you say on the Monroe County/Bloomington tower
frequency will be heard by the folks you want to contact. IOW, it's the
frequency that makes the difference, not the words.

SAY AGAIN, PLEASE

Hello,

This might have been brought up in the newsgroup before but I couldn't
find anything about it.

When going to a new airport, the AD would have sometimes something like :
Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, IN

What call should I do ?
Monroe County tower, Cessna XXXX ...
or
Bloomington tower, Cessna XXXX ...

Usually if I listen to what's being said on the frequency before I talk I
could figure it out, but sometimes some airports don't have that much
traffic and it's a little harder to know what is the proper thing to say.


Thanks
