Cherokee:
“Charlevoix Unicom, Charlevoix Unicom, this is Cherokee [Something] Xray. What are your winds and active?”

ATC:
“Cherokee [Something] Xray, the winds are out of the east at five, active runway is zero nine.”

Cherokee:
“Charlevoix, I’m out here by the cement plant, and it looks like the winds are out of the northwest.”

ATC:
“Cherokee [Something] Xray, are you landing at Charlevoix or landing at the cement plant?”
