FSS phone numbers in all states

Somtimes it's handy to know the local numbers if you have a question
regarding something very location specific. Like asking about dropping in
to say hi.

Or if you need to phone to close your flight plan. If I call from my cell
phone, I get my local FSS. If I'm somewhere covered by another FSS, it's
better to call them directly.

You can close your flight plan with anybody and anybody can give you
a weather briefing. However, the FSS's closer to where you are (rather
than where your cell phone implies) probably understand the local
weather and NOTAMS better.

I have to use Leesburg to file FRZ plans.

I thought that FSS preferred you to close the flight plan with the FSS
that covers your destination? They always give me a specific FSS to close
with; I thought it was at best a hassle if you called a different one.

I thought they were supposed to be fixing that problem.. ship you to the
nearest available FSS based on the Cell Grid you call in on, not on your
cell phone area code.
