Departure Frequencies for Non-Towered Airports?
How do I know, departing a non towered airport, which frequency to call on for CTR? Such as KCDC, on the charts, it says Los Angeles Center, 124.20, but CDC is in SLC CTR. I cant find anywhere on charts or the Aiport/Facility Directory on which frequencies to use for CTR. Thanks!
@ Dean, most of the aircraft depart to the north and use SLC CTR on 125.575, how do they know thats the frequency to use?

Have a look at the L-9 low altitude enroute chart. although CDC is in the Salt Lake City Centers area, (LA center handles traffic for CDC.as it is right on the border of the two). see frequency box just to the west/southwest

you will have to click on the Enroute L-9 tab to go from the Las Vegas sectional to the enroute chart I am referring to.
124.2 is the correct freq for contacting center operating into/outof CDC,
That said, unless you are going south or west, expect a hand off to SLC
(133.45)

A little trick I developed is looking at an IFR approach plate for that airport. Even if you're not familiar with them, go to airnav.com and look up the airport. At the bottom of the page it will have .pdf files of the approach plates. Near the top of any of the approach plates, it will say the frequency of the controlling ATC facility.

If the chart says to call Los Angeles Center on a given frequency, that's who you call. Center frequencies are in the AFD, on the FAA's web site, and available by phone call to your local FSDO.
