Narrative:
ATC handoff. Passing tqa inbound to dfw, while getting dfw ATIS, I realized that we were still on ZAB and not ft worth. We were not handed off this trip, nor last trip. Seems to be a recurring problem. We flew about 170 mi in ft forth airspace without talking to them. ACARS message came on printer concurrent with our realization that we were on wrong frequency. Last abq sector frequency was 134.17.
