Incorrect: Chicago Midway...129.525 (The Iceman) De-Icers talk to the pilots...129.575 (Iceman also..secondary Frequency. They use a few UHF frequencies for Ramp and Gate ops, I also have lavatory services here at Chicago Midway, if that's what you're looking for.

Some of the above frequencies are truncated. For best reception, put a '5' at the end of any frequency where the second number after the decimal is a 2 or a 7.

For example, 130.12 is really 130.125 MHz.

 

[davidp124]

Great list of frequencies! Seems as though that is all of SWA's stations. Last time I checked they had about 60. If there's more still out there, bring'm on. I have noticed that SWA seems to run their ACARS traffic on 131.55 here in the Midwest...

Merry Christmas

I decided to scan the airline company ops freqs.Now I know why people listen to them. These are absolutely exciting.
Tonight they closed down San Diego due to fog and pax are being flown into Ontario. I just heard a pilot say "we need a supervisor to meet us when we land ASAP... we have a bunch of pissed off passengers and they are starting to make us nervous".
Yikes. It even gets worse when dispatch tells the pilots that no transportation is available to bus the pax down to SD.
I feel bad for those in the industry who have to work this time of year. That would be a nightmare!

That's why you work loading the planes because bags don't talk back.

any ops for bwi

 

[davidp124]

Bwi - 130.475

Anyone have the SWA UHF freqs used at Love Field-Dallas? RR doesn't have any info.
They have licenses for WPIJ910 and WQBB658 with repeaters licensed on 452.050 and 452.000 MHz.
If they are anything like Houston, they are running repeaters on the other freqs, just not noting that in the license.
In Houston, they use 131.225 for Maintenance, 131.700 as "Dispatch"(?) and 132.000 (haven't heard in awhile)

 

[oldradioguy2010]

do you have??

hi myles, saw your post.
try 452.05 or 452.0, these are old freqs. from a couple years back when i went thru tx.
would you happen to have any hf freqs for so.west airlines?
thank you
old radio guy

 

[oldradioguy2010]

sorry myles i look and see you have the same freqs.
maybe i should read the post better.

"Dispatch" frequencies are used to contact the airline's dispatch staff which is usually located at the airline's headquarters. Dispatch frequencies are also used to contact maintenance staff at the airline's headquarters. I did a brief write up on these designations in the wiki: Finding Air Traffic Frequencies - The RadioReference Wiki

What about Southwest at SFO?? I didn't see that on Truco's list.

 

[gldavis]

SLC list shows:
460.7000, 136.5, Ch-2
460.8000, D165, Ch-4
460.8750, 136.5, Ch-1
130.6000
131.9250
133.8000 as a possible

 

[PCTEK]

Hi gldavis, I'm not sure if you were replying to my post, but the UHF Freq's for Southwest Airlines are not in SFO (according to a frequency database search here on RR). 460.7000 is SWA, but in Oakland, 460.8000 doesn't come back to SWA at all, and 460.8750 isn't in SFO as well.
