Rogue IFR

Why would a "meat bomb" flight be announcing on an Approach frequency?

When you let loose meat bombs, you have to notify the controlling agency of the
airspace you are in, usually approach or Center. They usually like to hear a a
one minute call and also a jumpers away call.

OT, I know...I wasn't contesting Dan's story, I was very confused though
reading the comment because in my short flying experience I have never heard
a skydiving call on approach, center or in a radar terminal area (which
comprises about 80% of my radio listening time). I do hear them *very*
regularly on CTAF. I humbly stand corrected.
