Airport names/callsigns

On towered airports you should call the tower the way its written in the communication box of the instrument plates.

for example: Daytona Beach tower is just DAYTONA Tower because its written like that.
 
Imagine how it would be if you were in a country with a really hard language and a weird airport name that is hard to pronounce (For some). For instance Athens is Eleftherios Venizelos International. (LGAV,ATH).

Are you making fun of the way I pronounced it coming out of there??;) I'm not sure what frequencies you have on liveatc, but we are in Kiev now. We left there at 1649 local.

I didn't get a chance too but I don't think liveatc has a frequency that you went on (I wasn't sure)
Here is what liveatc does have from LGAV.
Athens Approach 132.975
Athens Approach 125.525
LGGG Approach Northwest 134.475
LGGG Approach South 125.200

Yeah, if we were on any of those frequencies, then it probably would have been 132.975. I do not remember if we were on that one inbound or outbound, but it does ring a bell. The rest I do not think we were on. Actually, coming in we were on 125.2, since we came in from Damascus.
