Moncton Center UHF Frequency

[jetcrafter]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can confirm the frequency pairing of Moncton Center VHF 135.200 ?

I'm looking for the UHF side of 135.200 In the past, I thought it was 368.500 but maybe I've been wrong all these years. I cannot find an official Canada website listing the frequencies like the US FAA has. Any help is greatly appreciated, Thank you.

This is supposted to be complete from 2019. It show only a few UHF frequencies compared to many more VHF. Possibly some sites do not have UHF or they share UHF frequencies. I assume you have tried 368.5.

Thank you very much. This matches what I currently have as well. I have heard 368.5 used many times in the past when Boston Center hands off military planes from US to Canada airspace. Last night, a couple planes were told to go to 135.2 and they asked for the UHF frequency instead. The controller gave them 268.5 which I did not have and as such did not get recorded. This made me wonder if they changed the pairing frequency of 135.2 from 368.5 to 268.5 or it was the air traffic controller's mistake giving out the wrong frequency. Unfortunately, I was not listening to the radios when this happened so I wasn't able to tune 268.5 to hear any responses.

I will put 268.5 in my scanner and see if I ever get any hits on it to see if it is actually used. Thanks for the response, dlwtrunked. Much appreciated!

I think it is still 368.5 I wonder if that was a slip of the tongue on part of the controller(?) 368.5 seems to be turned on and off by Moncton depending on the need. I heard it a few months ago, but a private feed from Yarmouth seems to be down right now so I can't confirm if it has been used lately...but I suspect it has. I've asked the host to check the feed operation, so I might be able to update soon. He's not too far from the Wellington NAVCAN transmitter site.

Thanks blacktop. I have been monitoring/recording 268.5 24/7 since that day and so far...nothing. I agree with your idea it may have been a slip of the tongue by the controller. I appreciate your time and effort looking into this from your location and especially appreciate you contacting the feed provider to see if they can put the feed back on. Thank you very much!

I just received the Canada Flight Supplement I ordered from NAV CANADA via mail. Current edition, from AUG 10 to OCT 5 2023. I figured I would go directly to the source!

Here is a cell photo from the page which shows the Moncton Center frequencies. Note that 368.5 seems to be the frequency of choice. This book is a nice source of information similar to the US IFR SUPP here in the states.

Yes, it absolutely is. I have it as well as all of the high/low mapping as well. Collectively a great resource...

The Yarmouth feed site needs to be relocated. In the transition I'll see if we can put up a separate public feed for 368.5 in addition to the private feed. ATC transmissions should be much improved, so long as front-end overload doesn't become an issue...

Sounds good! Thanks for your efforts. Much appreciated!

Just a quick update on this...pretty sure 368.500 is for Low Level (<29,000'), not the stuff you find on 135.200 which is the high level stuff... sorry, that I forgot to mention that before...
