Interesting that the aviation frequencies required two licenses instead of using one license for all four frequencies. Anyone know why they had to do that?

Separate station classes.

WRYJ308
FAC = AIRPORT CONTROL TOWER
Airport control tower stations provide all necessary communications between an airport control tower and all arriving and departing aircraft. They are used to maintain an efficient flow of traffic for aircraft taxiing, landing, and takeoff and for all vehicle movement on the airfield. For vehicle movement on the airfield, airport control tower stations communicate with aeronautical utility mobile stations.

WRYJ309
MFL = AERONAUTICAL MULTICOM
Aeronautical multicom stations provide communications between private aircraft and a ground facility for temporary, seasonal, or emergency activities like crop dusting, livestock herding, forest firefighting, aerial advertising, parachute jumping, etc. In some cases, multicom stations may be authorized to serve as unicom stations.

(Edited to add FCC definitions of the two station classes.)
