It is a small detail, but a number of people I have spoken to have also commented on the naming of the VFR Arrival Controllers at Fisk as "FISK APPROACH''.
Typically, APPROACH is a Radar Controlling Position, which clearly the controllers at Fisk are not.
( Do they even have a remote Radar feed there - or would that be more of a distraction !!)
There is very big difference between Milwaukee Approach, and the services provided by the VFR Controllers at Fisk.
Would not a better name for them be say "FISK CONTROL" ?
Yes, I know everyone should read the Notams, and there it explains what "120.70 Fisk Approach" is, but then again, they are not called Fisk Tower, which technically would be a far better description of the type of Visual Controlling they are doing.
When I call an "Approach" controller, I expect certain services and procedures - when I call a "Tower" I expect a different set of services and procedures.
When I "listen" to the controllers at Fisk, I receive a very different "CONTROLLING" service, so I am suggesting that LOGICALLY, they are called something other than "APPROACH".
Just my 2 cents..

BTW. They do a great job -- but thats just one week out of the year. The other 51 weeks, they certainly have the skill set to be excellent Autioneers
