ATC Equipment / Nav Facility / Buildings; Procedure
[I] filed an IFR flight plan for a training flight including SUM to JXN to LFD VORs along V221. DUATS briefing did not indicate an issue with JXN VOR; but it could not be received. Fortunately; LFD VOR was functioning and ATC approved a direct to LFD alternative. If not already fixed; please fix the JXN VOR.Also; LAN and PSI VORs along route were non-operational; as indicated in briefing. Please fix. Lesson learned: VOR infrastructure deteriorating; so consider other navigational options.
C177 pilot reports JXN VOR to be out of service but not NOTAMed.
