Giders, Balloons etc....OLD FREQ STILL IN USE???

Post by mjm320340 »

Hi All,

I have seen the 2019 allocations put out by the CAA but can anyone tell me if any of these are still in use anywhere and for what specific use?

120.775 (Shropshire & Surrey) Gliders Channel 00
124.100 ( Little Rissington) Gliding (CHECK IF STILL CURRENT)
130.150 GLID A-A (OLD) Gliders Channel 04
131.1250 131.1250 Gliders Channel
133.1500 133.1500 Gliders Channel 00



I have had these for a while, keeping in line with making a fresh codeplug and lists up to date Im hoping for some clarification. Keep them in or lose them as they will never be used again (for now at least).

Some sites list these as still current.
