Narrative:

Controller on 118.75. Air carrier flight xx hold 350 heading until intercepting pxt 023 radial. 118.75: contact center 133.9. Air carrier xx 133.9 good day. 133.9: air carrier flight xx the patuxent restr area is hot (active). Turn left heading ... At this point we explained that we followed previous 118.75 clearance. Moments later, 133.9: we have it taken care of down here. You were all right. Problem was caused by 118.75 controller giving improper clearance.
