Thanks for coming through on those freqs Buff.
As for the other question on Norcal Approach frequencies I'm a student pilot in the north bay so I can answer him on that. The sector names I'm writing mean nothing other than to aid in the geography of their location - the names are used within the facility for override landline calls between controllers and coordination, but each controller is still called "Norcal Approach" or "Norcal Departure" on the air. The same is true for the Oakland Air Route Traffic Control Center, only they use numbered sectors and are called "Oakland Center" on the air.
Downtown San Francisco lies under the "Richmond" sector on 120.9 MHz / 323.2 MHz which primarily controls SFO and OAK departures headed to the NE-E (via the SFO8/Shorline 1/Quiet 2 from SFO & the OAK5/Silent 7 from Oakland), climbing to 15,000. The "Sutro" (after sutro tower) departure sector on 135.10 MHz / 307.20 MHz, starts immediately west of the Marina Green approximately over the Presideo. Since it'd be pointless to have departing pilots switch frequencies so soon, SFO and OAK departures to the South and West (via the PORTE3/Offshore 5 from SFO & the Skyline3/Coast 5 from OAK) climbing to 10,000. SFO arrivals from the Point Reyes VOR (on the golden gate 5 STAR) traverse Sutro's airspace but never talk to them, since they have a fixed pointout with the next sector "Boulder", which is a feeder for SFO approaches who mixes the point reyes guys from the north with those coming from the south near Big Sur as well. All those 747s you see traveling south high over the Golden Gate Bridge (11,000 ft to be exact! Not during the show though
) will be talking directly with "Boulder" on 133.95 MHz / 317.60 MHz. Boulder will be mostly sequencing people for rwy 28L at SFO, and working in tandem with "Niles" on 134.5 MHz / 338.2 MHz, the feeder sector for SFO arrivals from the east over the CEDES intersection (for runway 28R). When they have everyone figured out and going in the general direction of rwy 28L and 28R, they hand the airplanes to "Woodside" the SFO final controller, on 135.65 MHz / 125.35 MHz (alternate) / 310.8 MHz, who finally gets everyone's spacing just right and clears them for the approach. Since you asked, they're then handed off to SFO Tower on 120.5 MHz. Finally, to complete the circle, the "Grove" approach sector sits directly below Niles (i.e. Niles controls a box of air high up in the sky between about 6000 - 7000 ft to 15000 ft and they use that space to sequence SFO arrivals, and the Grove controller gets the sky from the surface up to the floor of Niles' sector), and controls Oakland approaches to runway 29. Grove is on 135.4 MHz / 354.1 MHz. North of Grove is Richmond, the SFO/OAK east departure sector I first talked about in this extremely long paragraph... and that, ladies and gentleman, is the majority of the Norcal sectors in the immediate bay area (minus the outlying ones, and they just added even more recently including Vineyard which seems to be replacing ZOA sector 19 on 124.325 (ZOA 19 is 119.475)). Got all that? LOL
I do hope you enjoy!
