Hi guys.Whats up on 126,9,joburg east sector? the reception of late from ATC has been appalling!

I heard its something to do with switching to relays.Does that mean they dont broadcast out from joburg like 126.7?

Been on the 128.9 frequency for the last 7 days now and didn't notice anything strange. They do broadcast out of Joberg, just like all the other frequencies, with a relay at Phalaborwa, which sometimes gives trouble, but like I said, nothing for the past 7 days now that I've heard

My apoligies...128,9,not 126,9-typo!

As i said,was monitoring 128.9 yesterday,in the sector area and the reception throughout was awful...as soon as i went over to 126.7 it was perfect again.
