ATIS on the ILS frequency.
The most recent CHIRP carried an article about pilots having difficulty clearly getting the Luton ATIS at an early range/reasonably high level, because it shares the frequency with another European airport just outside the range which ICAO stipulate same frequencies should transmit on.
In the article, it stated that MAN had the same problem so they put the ATIS on the VOR and the problem dissapeared.
Obviously Luton does not have a VOR, but I was wondering:
a) As they are a NATS unit, wouldn't it be possible to put it on the BKY VOR, or/and,
b) Couldn't it be put on the ILS Localiser frequency? - they operate in much the same frequency spectrum as VORs and have the same ICAO distance/same frequency requirements as VORs - which I am told, are greater than for ATIS/ATC frequencies.
