Has the wait time increased as much as

Dunno. Here in NJ, a lot of the VORs are still "broken" (ie. no voice)
due to the sudden closing of Millville. It makes me wonder how they have,
or will have, handled other FSS closings.

How much time should it take to redirect these "circuits" (whatever form
they take) from the old Millville FSS to whomever would own the VORs
(Williamssomething?)?

I do know that calling for NOTAMs is a joke. We get someone
(Williamssomething) that doesn't "officially" receive the local NOTAMs).
They get a FAX each morning from the FSS that does get them.

It's actually very strange, and I don't pretend to understand it. The FSS
specialists to whom I've spoken about it don't either.

Tell me about it.

I called a few months back and ended up with someone in NY (I'm in
Massachusetts and normally get Bridgeport CT or Burlington VT). They didn't
have any local NOTAMS and suggested I call a local number for Bridgeport.
