leesburg fss move, first try at filing via phone

I've had the (considerable) convenience of being able to file Washington ADIZ flight plans in person at the Leesburg FSS up until now (they moved on 7-May-2007). I'm due to fly tomorrow so I thought I'd try filing by phone for the first time today in case it takes a while. I've been on hold for 10-mins now. Apparently, it takes a while.

I just filed (for tomorrow) by phone for the first time. I was on hold for maybe 10-mins and it wasn't bad at all. I got the feeling the agent was a bit tired and the process was new to me so I'm going to call again tonight to confirm that they really have it on file. I'm definitely looking forward to being able to do this online eventually though. Now I also have to allot some time before flying for a weather briefing since we won't get that when we file from now on.

btw, found out today that you can file via duats.com instead of by phone. i just did that and it is much faster than by phone. note that filing for wash adiz vfr is a little different though.
