And also if it's actually legal. The only frequency on the IAP for obtaining
the local altimeter is the CTAF.

Actually, he gave him the frequency for Sound Aircraft Services, the major
FBO on the field. During the summer (and especially on weekends) they
usually have someone on the radio to give weather, wind and other
advisories on an informal basis. HTO is a pretty high-volume field during
the summer (it could probably have a tower, but residents won't allow it),
and a great deal of the traffic are uber-VIP's flying in to their weekend
getaways; so as a service, Sound keeps a guy or gal on the radio to help
things run a bit more smoothly.

Which begs the original question: how does a non-local learn such
non-trivia?
