Narrative:
Departed elm IFR flight plan, cleared to roc radar vectors, then direct roc. In flight issued new clearance V31 roc. Clearance changed to V252, report ridge intersection. Preflight briefings at X:30, X+2:30, and X+6:20 local all included NOTAM that gee VOR OTS. V252 runs off gee VOR. I asked elm controller if gee was back in service, and advised him of the NOTAM. He replied he had heard nothing about it. I tuned gee but did not receive a signal. I advised elm that I was not receiving gee and was then cleared roc direct. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following: reporter stated that he was with his CFI on a x-country IFR check flight. No reason given as to why the controller gave clearance on an arwy dependent upon the subject VOR.
