Been into ardmore a few times in the past, and it all seems to come down to which bugger is on watch at the time. Ardmores Uniscum is based in the old tower so they can see everything, all it seems to do is add to congestion by letting every bloody private pilot within 100 miles do a radio check on the discreet freq!
One other thing I noticed that I didn't like, is that if Unicom jumped in to let traffic know there had been 'two at once' they would often then tell one of the a/c to go ahead first - usually some dick asking for a radio check. Never mind the bloke on short final with a cherokee lining up in front of him, and what if it had been a mayday/pan call from the unheard a/c?
I know it serves a purpose, and is ideal to have someone available to push the panic button at busy ad's but you do just wish they'd shut up sometimes.
