ATC can't tell the difference.

In fact, while training we always used the VOR. I didn't even realize
the ADF was used for the feeder until this NOTAM happened and I looked
more closely at the chart. Of course, I realize that the feeder route
takes you to the LOM because that it the FAF for the LOC-only approach.

I wonder if my instrument instructor realized this issue... He is a real
"don't sweat the details if it works" kinda guy, so I would guess not.
