What UHF were you expecting to hear, ATC?

What UHF were you expecting to hear, ATC?

Is UHF decommissioned for airband in Ontario?

 

[ATCTech]

With very limited exception that was exactly my point.

 

[VE3SCP]

Tiger OPS from Trenton still use 232.100 MHz AM mode. I heard them a couple of weeks ago.

 

[IdleMonitor]

There's still activity in the 200-300mhz area around Petawawa AM mode.

 

[mciupa]

So, looks like limited exception is the military.

 

[ATCTech]

Itinerate flights 150 miles from a miilitary airport will be under control of civilian ATC, not military, whether on an IFR or VFR flight plan. The terminal control zone around YTR or YTA is only about 10 miles. NAV Canada decommissioned virtually all UHF ATC frequencies a number of years ago with a couple of exceptions that you'll find in the database. The O/P was referring to the London area where there's no permanent military presence and no civilian ATC UHF coverage.
