Hello. With the introduction of "Bristol Ground" on 121.925MHz, I have not yet heard it manned once since it was officially introduced on 12th June. I thought it may have been manned today as saturdays, and sundays are busy, but still only tower is on, and ATIS saying contact tower for engine start. Anyone got any ideas when they are going to use ground? Or are they just going to get that extra seat gather dust?
Thanks!

Lol. I have read NOTAMs on AIS, they arent THAT clear. I understand its only going to be used when its busy, but I thought weekends were busy. I just want to hear it in use, because its differnt, it would be nice to hear different ATC activity at Bristol, any idea of the first time its going to be manned? Since Beads and standard noise, you are both EGGD ATCO's! lol.
Thanks!
