Y'know, scanning the forums for any milair questions, I keep seeing the same kind of questions from newcomers over and over again; where do I get frequencies for [fill in your favorite site or area here]?
It's hard enough trying to find which freqs your local Air National Guard, National Guard, NORAD or Giant Killer, ect. are using in your area - and that, I'm sure, is a source of frustration. So how about a list of easy targets - something that someone just starting out can use as a baseline?
I can think of a few places...
- If your local airport is large enough, many times they are also communicating on UHF freqs, as well as civ air VHF. Besides the databases here, and maybe on Airnav, and apart from the 800 page monster of a FLIP (dial up downloads are ugly!) where else would you go for this information?
- If your area is one of those covered by these aerial refueling routes (like those shown here ) these are a possibility.
- An ARTCC center is quite likely to communicate on both VHF and UHF for handeling military flights. But apart from the sources above, where would you go for accurate information?
This might be a very valuable addition to the wiki, if we can get enough sources.
Any additions? 73s Mike
