I can never get this right!
When the airport list's it's approach freq like this
123.75 (320-152)
119.9 (153-319)

does that mean that I should call 123.75 if my heading is between 320
and 152 or the opposite?

Neither. Your aircraft heading is not an issue. It is the geographical
segment you are in, in relation to the airport. If your aircraft is within
the arc from 320° to 152° from the airport, you use 123.75. If you are
within the arc from 153° to 319° from the airport, you use 119.9. You can
roll into a bank and do 360° turns and not have to change frequencies while
turning.
