PATUXENT GROUND: 120.6 336.4

I'm curious about that, too. Note that 340.2, along with 360.2 are pretty much standard freqs for Navy towers, as is 336.4 for ground control. Norfolk NAS uses 340.2 actively, and I think the same for Willow Grove. Pax may want to have a 'standard' freq available, but only for secondary use.
