2013 Nov 14 - New 121.6 CTAF for YRSY + YMEL + YRID + YPEF

[JabiruWeekendWarrior]

Has anyone noticed in the new (effective 14 Nov 2013) ERSA and VNC there is new CTAF frequency for four small airfields around Victoria Melbourne's North West of Melbourne???

 

Currently:

 

YRSY (ROMSEY)CTAF 126.7

 

YPEF (PENFIELD)CTAF 126.7

 

YRID (RIDDLE) CTAF 126.7

 

YMEL (MELTON)CTAF 124.2

 

After 14 Nov 2013 the four airfield will be CTAF 121.6

 

Will be scary in the area for a few months after 14Nov 2013 with some pilots using old maps and CTAF.

Hmmm, wonder what other areas have frequency changes?

One of our friends is on the committee. Meeting minutes and agenda are publicly available so you can see what is coming up.

I'll remind him to publicise such things 'cause my old memory is failing :-)

 

Are you going to TOC this weekend?

Also Sunbury East onto 121.6, I believe. Makes a lot of sense. Sometimes couldn't get a broadcast in at Penfield due to others on 126.7, eg from Colac, Yarrawonga, Leongatha etc
