The current frequency arrangements for aerodromes that are not marked on charts have
nothing to do with the preferences of ex-military personnel. You really do need to get that through your head, because alienating and angering a bunch of ex-military people is not doing your cause any good.
Your blaming the military is like your spelling of "rediculous": Patently wrong.

Many of your genuinely well-meaning posts demonstrate how cut off you are from the way the system works for the mere private citizen. You'd think that getting a strip marked on a chart would be easy - after all, that is, apparently, why people have a legal obligation to have (and pay for) the current charts, and why there is a bureaucracy set up to produce those charts. You'd also think that getting a NOTAM published with a discrete frequency for a fly-in activity would be easy. And you'd think if such a NOTAM were published you could rely on most people to read, understand and comply with it.
Unfortunately, that's not the way it works for the plebs who presume to believe that they are entitled to a service in return for their income tax, fuel excise and GST, among other costs. The system is now so broken and confusing that most people just use the Mike Sierra Uniform procedure. A wonderful consequence of over 20 years and over 200 million of 'reform' down the gurgler.
All in the name of 'safety' of course.
