Delta VHF freqs at KATL?

I'm going to be in Atlanta at the Renaissance Concourse hotel in a few weeks just to watch the airport traffic (the hotel's "Aviation" weekend package). I've gotten all the ATC frequencies, but wonder if anyone knows the specific Delta frequencies. I'm referring to the VHF band and not their trunked system. Thanks!

Have a look here, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) Scanner Frequencies and Radio Frequency Reference
Should have what your looking for.

When you are there, keep in mind they have 3 runways so when you are monitoring, you will have a lot to listen to. DAL also controls all the ramp channels (once the a/c goes to ground, they get handed off each "concourse" - terminal for gate directions). If I were you, I would just plug in Tower 125.325 (if landing 8R/26L) or 119.1 (if landing 8L/26R) and Ground 121.9 (both runways), else that or you will just be overloaded with air traffic!

Myself and a few others here are regulars on the South parking deck where we get an awesome view of 9/27. Click HERE to see some of my photos from ATL (I go by mm505 at FenceCheck).

Definitely bring your camera with you as the Aviation Package will offer you photo opportunities that you won't believe!

Wonderful pictures. My wife has given me the weekend package as a birthday gift! She knows how much I enjoy aviation (airlines in particular) and is looking forward to it almost as much as I. There was a quote on one of the pictures you linked to - about why we used to go to hotels, and why we do now. Hate to say it, but that's me!!!!!

Thanks. I'm a real-world pilot and do a lot of flight simming as well - don't know if you guys have ever heard of VATSIM but I'm a 757-200 captain with Delta Virtual.

Well, 3 for takes offs and 3 for landings! Except 10/28 is used for both!
