I am planning a trip out to SLC and Hill AFB. I am putting together a list of frequencies to make my Favorite list. I am pulling from the following sources:

-Airnav
-US IFR Supplement from 2018
-Airfield Operations HILLAFBI13-204 2025 (pg. 78)
-Grove Military Frequency Directory
-RR.com Davis County Federal page

My trust level starts at the top (airnav is the freshest info, but isn't very "deep" into base ops and discrete frequencies), and works down. So if I found a duplicate frequency in the IFR supplement, I'd delete it. If I found a duplicate from Grove, I'd delete it. In the end, the Grove and RR.com should be unique.

As I was constructing my Favorites, I noticed a couple of issues with the data on the RR.com site. A lot of it seemed to duplicate what was on the Grove list. It wasn't just frequencies, but labels too. I don't know if someone just submitted the Grove stuff without verifying or not.

The other thing I noticed was that a lot of the VHF air frequencies were listed as FM and not AM. Look between 138.025-143.875, all of these are listed as FM and a probably AM if they are used as A-A.

I didn't want to waste time uploading my Hill AFB HPE file if no one was interested in "test driving" it to see how well it worked.

Also interested with collaborating with locals to make it better and clean up the Davis County Federal page...




Here is the link for the HILLAFBI13-204
