What name do you call clearance delivery?

What was said where the ... was between contact and this in "Cleared as filed, climb and maintain 8,000, contact…this frequency”?

As I recall, nothing (which is kinda my point). He hesitated for a moment and then said “this frequency”. Had he said “contact Ft Wayne Approach on this frequency” I wouldn’t have even posted this story.

I left IFR from KASW and the charts show “clnc del 134.05” and showed a different freq for Ft Wayne Approach, so I called Ft Wayne Clearance at the runup area and it worked fine.

What I didn’t expect was for my clearance to include, for the frequency, that Clearance Delivery freq: “Cleared as filed, climb and maintain 8,000, contact…this frequency” - literally. Got airborne, and in my rules-following mindset, checked in with “Ft Wayne Clearance”, since that’s how I knew him. To my surprise he kept me with him until handing me off to Center a bit later - he never switched me to a Ft Wayne Approach one. I never heard anyone else on freq and don’t recall him ever referring to himself; had he responded with Ft Wayne Approach/Departure I would have changed my wording.

Not a problem but just felt weird.

Once, on an approach into Toledo. I was told to contact Tower on 118.1. I switched over and no one answered. I tried several times and nothing. I switched back to approach and let them know I was on final and could not contact the tower on 118.1 they told me to contact ground on 121.9. I called ground and they cleared me to land. The worst part of it all, this was during my IFR check ride!
 
“Clarence, Cezna 1234, vfr ff to podunk, one thousand five hundred, no sids, definitely no starz, over”
 
Sometimes the same guy is working all the frequencies.

I was flying near Ashville, NC one night. And it was obvious that the same person was working App, Dep, Tower, Ground, and Clearance Delivery.
