cut out unnecessary calls to avoid clashes on 126.7 at airfields close to one another
And we know where that idea came from, don't we Dick? Yet another "good idea at the time" that CASA quite rightly fixed up later. But we are still stuck with it. First, it was the "don't say anything!" letter to us all, then it was the NAS talk "yourself around the circuit" nonsense and finally, as it was and should always have been, two mandatory calls and the rest "on demand". For every one of these changes, it has taken 10 years to sift through the system. Shame on you.
Cardinal Pell eh? You are a master of propaganda, Dick!
Propaganda??

So, far more traffic than us (15x, was it?), the same area, and only 5 CTAFs plus, I assume, 126.7. Sounds like that'd work...
