Sorry, don't give out the freqs as a rule (although it's not hard to find out!). A couple of years back we had some plonker in the crowd with his handheld radio that jammed the frequency during the arrival sequence on the Saturday...all you could hear on the frequency was the talking in the crowd around him (and the PA asking everyone to turn their hand held radios OFF)...gave us some pretty large headaches in the tower for about 5 minutes at the busiest time of the day and delayed at least 2 turbo props who opted to hold clear of the zone until the fiasco was sorted...and that is the LAST thing some of the formations want to hear in the middle of their sequences!!!
