Ottawa YOW airport

[Clats97]

Hello, I live not too far away from the Ottawa airport (MacDonald Cartier international YOW) and sometimes can pick up ATC talking and such.

I decode fire pages with PDW, and today, I attempted to decode ACARS messages with PDW because it supports that protocol. There are three different listed frequencies for YOW airport ACARS. However, it's been 3 hours, 1 hour monitoring each frequency to see which one if any, is active.

I have not yet received one message.

Does anyone know why? Have they changed to a different frequency by chance? Any help would be appreciated.

Here are a couple of frequencies you can try:

129.125
130.025
130.450 active today
131.550 active today
131.725 ?
136.975 active today

Not sure if what I am seeing as active is ASCARS or something else.

I am sure others will help you with this soon with a more up to date list and information..
