Josh, that was one of the main questions I wanted to ask. Even after all the flying I've done, I still get intimidated on the radio from time to time...especially when things get real hectic around here during the morning or evening push. I'm fine with it, but I still get the butterflies here and there. I hear controllers get ticked, not at me...but in general, and was just curious what some of the local pet peeves were.
Your right though, they do give some kinda favoritism towards certain tail numbers. Around here, you hear the same people all the time...with the exception of a few corporate transits. Since I'm the only female that flies on a regular basis they do know my voice...and I get made fun of on a regular basis for the accent but I'll take it.
ILS, which tower are you trying? I'll give them a call in a little bit and try it out.
Thanks,
PCJ
