Narrative:

The waiver issued by the FAA requested our skydiving company notify the washington hub of the date; time; place; areas; altitudes; nature of the activity; and duration of the operation and request that a NOTAM be issued. I contacted the phone number and filed the NOTAMS for the parachute drops at ZZZ and at ZZZ1. The phone billing shows that the call from my cell phone lasted 8 minutes. At xa:58 I called again to correct the radial and distance information. This was another 8 minute call. Both calls were overheard by the owner of the skydiving company. The owner of the skydiving operation was contacted by the FSDO complaining that the NOTAMS were not filed. The FAA apparently filed a NOTAM that was given the number XXX-00000. In the evening we checked first with the 1-800-wxbrief site that could no longer find any records of these NOTAMS. We then contacted the NOTAM desk again. When they could not locate any details of the NOTAMS; I requested to talk to a supervisor. First I reported my problem to supervisor one and later supervisor two at the same number requesting they save the conversation tapes between xa:00 and xd:00. Later we thought the time of my call was around xb:03. In the evening I contacted supervisor two again after checking my cell phone billing record online and confirmed that my first call to the NOTAM desk was at xa:36 and the later call with the correction was at xa:58. During that first call I was informed by a lady that she was working with a trainee. During my second call I only talked to a lady but did not ask for her name and she did not volunteer it either. There was no damage or hurt to anybody and no traffic conflicts resulted from this. It seems that this was a training exercise by the contractor crew that fell through the cracks and antagonized the FSDO.

Title: A PARACHUTE OPERATOR REPORTS MAKING THE REQUIRED NOTAM APPLICATION FOR A PARACHUTE DROP WITH THE FSS CONTRACTOR. NOTAM DID NOT GET ISSUED.

Narrative: THE WAIVER ISSUED BY THE FAA REQUESTED OUR SKYDIVING COMPANY NOTIFY THE WASHINGTON HUB OF THE DATE; TIME; PLACE; AREAS; ALTS; NATURE OF THE ACTIVITY; AND DURATION OF THE OPERATION AND REQUEST THAT A NOTAM BE ISSUED. I CONTACTED THE PHONE NUMBER AND FILED THE NOTAMS FOR THE PARACHUTE DROPS AT ZZZ AND AT ZZZ1. THE PHONE BILLING SHOWS THAT THE CALL FROM MY CELL PHONE LASTED 8 MINUTES. AT XA:58 I CALLED AGAIN TO CORRECT THE RADIAL AND DISTANCE INFO. THIS WAS ANOTHER 8 MINUTE CALL. BOTH CALLS WERE OVERHEARD BY THE OWNER OF THE SKYDIVING COMPANY. THE OWNER OF THE SKYDIVING OPERATION WAS CONTACTED BY THE FSDO COMPLAINING THAT THE NOTAMS WERE NOT FILED. THE FAA APPARENTLY FILED A NOTAM THAT WAS GIVEN THE NUMBER XXX-00000. IN THE EVENING WE CHKED FIRST WITH THE 1-800-WXBRIEF SITE THAT COULD NO LONGER FIND ANY RECORDS OF THESE NOTAMS. WE THEN CONTACTED THE NOTAM DESK AGAIN. WHEN THEY COULD NOT LOCATE ANY DETAILS OF THE NOTAMS; I REQUESTED TO TALK TO A SUPVR. FIRST I REPORTED MY PROBLEM TO SUPVR ONE AND LATER SUPVR TWO AT THE SAME NUMBER REQUESTING THEY SAVE THE CONVERSATION TAPES BETWEEN XA:00 AND XD:00. LATER WE THOUGHT THE TIME OF MY CALL WAS AROUND XB:03. IN THE EVENING I CONTACTED SUPVR TWO AGAIN AFTER CHKING MY CELL PHONE BILLING RECORD ONLINE AND CONFIRMED THAT MY FIRST CALL TO THE NOTAM DESK WAS AT XA:36 AND THE LATER CALL WITH THE CORRECTION WAS AT XA:58. DURING THAT FIRST CALL I WAS INFORMED BY A LADY THAT SHE WAS WORKING WITH A TRAINEE. DURING MY SECOND CALL I ONLY TALKED TO A LADY BUT DID NOT ASK FOR HER NAME AND SHE DID NOT VOLUNTEER IT EITHER. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR HURT TO ANYBODY AND NO TFC CONFLICTS RESULTED FROM THIS. IT SEEMS THAT THIS WAS A TRAINING EXERCISE BY THE CONTRACTOR CREW THAT FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS AND ANTAGONIZED THE FSDO.
