The other day we where sitting at 900/2 every now and then visibility would drop to 1.5. The wife & I are sitting on the ramp at a satellite airport I call clearance & delivery & wait! I wait some more! I call again! I wait & wait some more! I here them talking to the airliners & private jet’s at the main airport! I try the other radio and I call again still no answer I give them about 5 min to respond! So far 20 min has gone by with out 1 answer. I shut it down Grab my cell phone call the local FBO to see if they are monitoring the Unicom for a radio check! I turn on the radios and check them and they both come in clear so I know my radios are working! I know its common at my home airport for a 10 to 15 min wait after you receive your clearance for an IFR launch time I am wondering why they did not respond???? Really ruined my day! What would you do in this situation? I was almost ready to call the people at C & D and give them and ear full!
