Ok, so I have been thinking about this for a while and finally had the
revelation that "if it does not yet exist, you probably ought to start one
yourself".
We need a Range Control list.
I am thinking along the lines of any permanent freq assigned to a specific
location where there is a fixed radio base station, under a roof (to include ATC). While I
hate to exclude A2A and temporary assignments I think it has to be done to
make the list serve any purpose.
If one already exists I haven't found it yet and while much can be found in
the graciously posted logs of many folks, it's hardly a one stop shop due
to many threads over many years.
Low band anything is kind of a niche area right off the bat, and military
low band just as much, but I believe it will be a benefit to all, just to
have a listing or a dedicated thread to search, of the well known and
generally confirmed Range Control freqs for confirmation, elimination or
for those who couldn't care less, a quick way of determining where a band
may be open.
I don't have any good ideas how to do this other than just simply list them
so suggestions are welcome.
I'll start with stuff I feel pretty sure about:
38.9 Ft. Bragg Range Control Primary
41.75 Camp Mackall tower/(Ft. Bragg Range Control)
41.8 Ft. Bragg Range Control Helo Ops (Tower)
46.75 Ft. Bragg Range Control back-up
This partly came about to my doing a "new" antenna test this morning and picking up tx's on 41.75 but the tower side only. Which only leads me to conclude it was skip and not from Bragg. There is no way the "new" antenna is that much better, but I also can't find another 41.75 in use as of yet.
