3. From Charlie Whiskey: So here are the links for the VOR test logging rule repeal Petition for Rulemaking:

1.  Here's a link to reading the Petition for Rulemaking:  https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2019-0739-0001 

2.  Comment in support of the Petition: either hit the "comment now" button or follow this link: https://www.regulations.gov/comment?D=FAA-2019-0739-0001

3.  Suggested text for Comment: "I am writing to express my support for opening a rulemaking proceeding regarding the potential repeal of the VOR Test logging requirement.  This rule has out lived its usefulness and creates an unnecessary burden upon pilots and aircraft owners and operators."

4. PATRON Romeo Whiskey sent in some practicing tips for November Whiskey in OB 90.  “Download a few snippets of audio from Liveatc (the recordings are kept for 30 days). This is the link for Dayton but can be replaced with any ICAO code at the end:  https://www.liveatc.net/archive.php?m=kday Download the podcast app Overcast (unfortunately this is iOS only) and sign up for a paid subscription (it's only $10 for the year)  Load the ATC files to Overcast (note this has to be done on the website) and you can listen on fast mode plus use smart speed which speeds up the audio when there is silence.”
