Narrative:

On jan/wed/02, I dispatched a flight that might not be capable of contacting company dispatch due to atl radio having a tower OTS. On the following tuesday, I took a turnover at XA00Z. I then proceeded to question whether or not I could contact the aircraft. I called atl radio to confirm the station at mynn was working ok. They confirmed it was OTS. I told management about the situation and they decided to let the flight continue. I feel this was a possible violation of 121.99, but the aircraft was already airborne and unable to stop it.
