The York sector appears to have been renamed as the Covington Sector, frequency 123.925. There is some discrepency as to the name of the RCAG site, the FAA AFF lists the site as Catawba while the RRDB calls it Merwin. 123.925 is not displayed on the LE Aeronatical charts and the correct spelling of the RCAG appears to be Merwyn not Merwin.

Nevermind, this doesn't seem correct. I'll look at it again later when I have more time.

Checking again from what I can tell it appears the York Sector was combined into the Covington Sector. Looking at a sector chart from 2014 and there is no mention of a York Sector, so it's been at least 11 years since it was changed. I can't find any sector charts prior to that.

The York sector is still shown in the RRDB with the VHF frequencies incorrectly listed as 120.470 and 123.920. From info dated 2021, 120.475 is the Lytle Low Sector while 123.925 is the Covington Low Sector. These 2 sectors are part of "Area 5" where they are often combined with the other 2 "Area 5" Low Sectors, Rosewood 128.075 and Muncie 124.525.

There is a LiveATC feed where you can hear the controller on 123.925 and the few times I've checked recently the one controller was working all 4 "Area 5" low sectors/frequencies. Typical configurations in the past during the day shift have been to combine Covington-Lytle and Rosewood-Muncie.
