L.A. Center RCAG Freqs 125.8 and 132.6,,Cannot hear Again.

[Rt4957]

Yet again for me in Chatsworth Calif,Both frequencies above have gone "Aircraft only" on my scanners.
Is it the Telco lines again?
This has gone on ,on and off, for a few months now to where they`ll "come back" but 125.8 and 307.1 go "silent" again except for the aircraft side.

Is it something the FAA is aware of?
Curious as these are my "local" frequencies,and are what I enjoy listening to.
Thanks for any replies,
Phil

Perhaps they switch between sites and they are using one you can't hear now?

Of course the FAA knows, it's a major radio site.

It has been out since Tuesday. I don't know the reason for the outage.

I did not dig on this too much but it looks like there are three different physical sites that use the 125.8/307.1 combo for ZLA04 sector.

.. so that could be a factor as opposed to an hard down outage.

As I mentioned above, it was an outage.

GMN and QMM are the two physical sites currently. LHS is down long term.

Honestly, to be fair, all you really you really did was confirm rt4957's narrative that something was down with a subjective observation of "out since Tuesday. I don't know the reason".

Right? Not much extra information with that blurb.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OP listed Chatsworth, CA as a location so it certainly is reasonable to assume that GMN to his south was transmitting and not LHS. It is only 12 miles away and has great RLOS!

I mean .. look at that .. we all should be so lucky!

(Chatsworth on left, GMN right)



It sure looks like the 30 miles to LHS with a mountian range nearby would make it a stretch to pull anything in. But I'm not there and I dont know OP's equipment so .. FWIW.

(Chatsworth on left, LHS right)



Bottom line is yeah LHS is down to power failure and other stuff. For now, logs indicate that comms have been moved to QMM. (yes .. I looked)


@Rt4957: good luck brother with that 45 mile RLOS to QMM since the elevation is doozy :

Would you rather I phrase it, "There has been an outage since Tuesday" vs. "It has been out since Tuesday" or.......? Still don't know the reason for the outage. I haven't bothered looking into it.

As I said, the physical sites had absolutely nothing to do with his loss of reception. It was an outage on 4/23.

Comms. have been moved to from LHS to QMM for quite some time, estimated repair 1/2025.
