VHF-Air Band Monitoring

[Kevin Krone]

Hello all,

 

I spent some time yesterday (Saturday 3-14-08) out at the Albany Airport Observation parking lot doing some VHF-Air band logging.  Here is the list of what I heard, with stations that I was able to identify by on-air transmissions.  I don't usually monitor VHF-Air, so some of you may know what all of these frequencies are assigned for.

 

118.050 - Albany Airport Approach

 

118.425

 

120.450 - Albany Airport ATIS

 

120.625

 

121.350 - Boston Center

 

122.850

 

123.950

 

125.325

 

125.350

 

125.575

 

126.475

 

127.500 - Albany Airport Departure

 

128.325 - Boston Center

 

129.550

 

130.950

 

132.175

 

132.300

 

132.600

 

132.650

 

132.825 - Albany Airport Approach (Class C Airspace)

 

133.125

 

133.425

 

134.000

 

134.600

 

134.950 (pilot had a british accent)

 

135.250

 

135.325

 

135.700

 

135.800

 

One note - I had always thought that Albany Approach was primarily on 125.000, with an alternate channel of 118.050.  However I did hear traffic on 132.825, and the ATIS broadcast advised Class C approach was on 132.825.  How long ago did that change?
