Surely you have enough frequencies available in your country to be able to allocate a discrete frequency even on 25 kHz channels without using 8.33 kHz ones
That's just the UKs version of what we call Multicom or 126.7. As said before that's fine if others know your unmarked aerodrome exists, otherwise all the traffic transiting the area will be on area frequency. Multicom obviously only works if all aircraft near the airfield in question are listening to that frequency.
If there was only a frequency that everyone in the 'area' is supposed to be on and listening to.... Oh that's right Airservices combined all those as well with repeaters so you can over-transmit someone in Bamaga while taxiing on King island.
