one list to look up the channels of all radios for a flight, including the alternate.
Up to last year one could almost rely on the standard moving map applications to deliver the correct frequencies needed for a flight - even giving the right one for alternates, even in flight.
Right now, for each and every flight, I have to look up the airfields, check NOTAMs and airfield information and their website for news and even better call them to make sure I do get the right radio channels for a proper communication.
And yes, it is a sign of contemporary decay of knowledge and brain activity calling the new channels a "frequency" - But, we have to live with that as we cannot change the contagious dullness.
