Other than the turn to 170, the local controller gives no other instructions to WN708 until ‘contact departure.’ On the combined app/dep feed, WN708 not heard checking in with departure, but after departure states “Southwest 708, radar contact, climb and maintain 12,000, turn left to ILEXY,’ WN708’s reply is heard. About 1.5 minutes later, departure directs WN708 to “contact Houston Center, 132.15.’ No reply is heard from WN708.
These are the limitations of LiveATC.
