HI, I think you can only really know if you look at an aproach chart. / or on a sectional chart(vfr)...indeed on a sectional chart there is a freq chart for controlled airports on the side of the chart. And yes the fellow who said that the JEPP enroute charts (low at least) have controlled freqs including atis on the chart front is quite right.
an "A" on the side of the vor box, upper right corner, may mean AWOS is available...but that isn't atis.
UNDERLINE of a freq on a sectional chart means NO VOICE on this freq.
just for additional information. by the way...it is always a good idea to have sectional or wac charts with you while IFR just in case you lose everything having then to use pilotage.
San Francisco has ATIS on a couple of VOR's...as planes are coming in from over the ocean and are in range of the VORs before the com range ATIS.
We must remember ancient days when one didn't have the luxury of many radios and one could listen on the VOR while still listening to ATC on com...hourly wx broadcasts too...we used to call them Aviation Sequence Reports.
wow have things changed...Ihate even calling them METARS now.
