NORCAL Frequency change?

[Diskus]

There seems to be a change in approach frequency into KSFO. The usual feeder of Boulder 133.95 now sometimes will pass to a 133.170. this may be a replacement or somehow addition to 120.35 Foster into RWY 28R. Any insights?

What direction are the planes coming from. Are the using the Diamond 5 arrival?

It is being used by aircraft arriving on the DYAMD Five Arrival and landing on 28R.

I looked on AirNav and didn't see a Boulder on the standard arrivals list. I listen to the planes and can see most of them using DYAMD 5 as they transition to ARCHI. I've not heard the waypoint the OP was asking about. Just trying to help out a new person.

I have noticed them on Bodega arrival which feeds into 133.95 Boulder Sector then often 135.65. On busy days they will separate right downwind traffic to 28R onto 120.35. However recently I noticed them using 133.17 rather than 120.35 for right down winds

Actually I just noticed it on DYMAND as well. Seems like it replaced 120.35. wonder why?

Funny thing I heard a controller he was about to send them to 120.35 cut him self short and said correction 133.17
