Does anyone know any unpublished frequencies for the Birmingham airport. I was listening to 123.8 and the controller told an airplane to switch to 126.15 for final approach control.

Here is a good link for most of the BHM freqs:

I checked airnav & 126.15 MHz isn't listed for that airport however it could be a new allocation & the databases haven't caught up with it yet..

When I was there for a photo shoot, we used 123.45 so I could talk to the jet. They said it was a talk-around channel over there.

Yup , Dave that is an "unofficial" nationwide frequency

They have used that frequency for a number of years. I had a friend, and neighbor that was an ATC @ Birmingham. It is used for the final controler when the traffic pattern is pretty busy. 269.2 is the UHF split for that controler.

You can hear some pretty funny stuff on 123.450! Especially if you have an outdoor antenna. I hear pilots chatting on that frequency pretty much throughout the night. I'm sure they do it during the day too, but I'm not hear to monitor during the day...
