Please name the places so that the facts can be checked.
Often places aren't marked because the owners don't want them to be generally known. Naming them would be a bit rude.

Lots of factual errors through nomination of places that turn out to be depicted as aerodromes on aeronautical charts.
Which is my point - the biggest problem with this change is that some will think they are marked, some unmarked, and others will just use 126.7 as they have always done. Any rule about broadcasts is useless if people are not using the same frequency.

anyone with any experience in aviation knows that the number of movements by VHF carrying aircraft at these unmarked aerodromes is three fifths of five eighths of f*ck all.
"It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. It's what you know for sure that just ain't so."

I do agree about the media release - the real risk to RPT is miniscule.
