Good catch! I wonder if their Civilian VHF Frequencies have changed too.

VHF at KBAB

So far just the UHF frequencies have changed.
There is a new VHF ATIS on 124.55 MHz, this has been in use for some time.
I found out about the new UHF by listening to the ATIS, and quickly tuned to
the new frequencies and heard activity. There may be some use of the old
tower frequency, will have to wait and listen.

I am going to try and catch some more activity using Close Call feature on my
BCD996T, that is how I found the Liberty OPs AtoG on 253.2 MHz.

just noticed this. FYI in the future, please submit updates like this to the DB as well so it can be updated.

Interesting. Because the charts and diagrams that the FCC just released earlier this month as valid 2 May - 30 May don't list any of those changes.

And does this mean NORAD WADS no longer uses 271.0 for combat air patrols?

Thank you for the update, but again, please submit updates to the DB rather than posts to threads as they are not always reviewed by DB staff.
