My private helipad is my ALA 30m dme YBBN, NOT marked on a chart and 13 miles from nearest CTAF, however I get a lot of overflying low level helicopter and plane flights due to living in a pass in the mountain range(at 800ft) So I "should" transmit on area ATC. 10 miles, base, landing; rolling, departure. All I ever hear on that frequency is the big jets, their going to love me, and I feel like a
transmitting what they are not interested in, how long before ATC tells me to bugger off? I am going to do it now, to the letter, and see what happens and if I get abused I'll refer them "ATC"to CAR 166
personally I always have 2 vhf and listen on area and local ctaf/aerodrome freq as I fly around, is that so hard? Can't afford a second radio? How can you afford to fly then?
