Default Re: Coral Springs FL, Alert area Mid-Air

The Aeronautical Information Manual, Section 4-1-11 [July 20, 1995] designates 122.75 mHz and 122.85 mHz for air-to-air communications and for use by private airports that are not open to the public; 123.025 mHz is designated for helicopter air-to-air communications. In addition, two frequencies, 123.3 mHz and 123.5 mHz, are reserved for aviation instruction, gliders, and hot air balloons. Pilots should not use other seemingly "unused" frequencies for chat lines because they may be interfering with important ATC communications, even though they do not hear anyone "on the line."

For years, the locals have used 123.45 (otherwise known as the fingers)but there is no official frequency designated for use in 291A (Coral Springs)

I monitor "the fingers" but most of the time I don't bother to announce my position unless I see someone close. I use my technologically advanced equipment I had installed when I came off the assembly line called EyeCAS.
