Two Stations at once....

Inspired by the resurrected Southend Frequency thread...

Who else have you heard on shared frequencis?

I've listened to Sywell, from down near White Waltham - (remember that FFF?) and both Popham and CDG from near Bourn. French fishermen used to be regulars on Headcorn's frequency.

Heard Aldergrove radar and Benson Zone together once on 120.9 (?)
High Pressure system over the UK - VHF ducting or whatever it's called.
Pretty nostalgic as I flew from both places in the RAF

Manchester, Heathrow and Luxembourg Tower (118.62 ?) all on the same day - and all near Manchester, not 'in the middle'.

Last summer while flying out of Bourn I could quite often hear De Gaulle Departure, both it and Bourn sharing 124.35 MHz. They couldn't hear me though!

Just about to turn final at Barton thinking that I was the only traffic and heard somebody else calling final!

Turned out to be at Sywell which shares 122.70 with Barton.

Woke me up I can tell you.

Yeovilton and Waddington. A real pain at any level above FL60 as you constantly cross with transmissions at the other end of the country. As they're both LARS units able to work up to FL95 it's about time one of these was changed

(FL65 the other day abeam Yeovilton - with the high pressure I was able to hear an aircraft climbing out of Gamston - weird! )

If i remember rightly one of the Aberdeen offshore frequencies could catch traffic going into Schipol. Hope traffic going into Schipol couldn't hear us - a S61 at 110kts would not have been welcome!

Many years ago, Luton had a radar freq 127.3, so did Cherbourg. During certain atmospheric conditions we could actually get two way contact with them. She sounded very nice!!

Blackbushe and Peterborough Sibson is always a problem especially with aicraft calling up at FLXXX to check on any drops.

Certainly was today. To start with I thought I must be on the wrong frequency and checked it several times, then I said "Sibson" in front of every single transmission to try to avoid confusion.

Departed Cambridge for Carlisle about 6 weeks ago on an anticyclonic day. Both Cambridge App and Carlisle are on 123.6. It was really weird to hear, while approaching Carlisle, the voices of some pilots at Cambridge that I had been talking to on the ground some 90 mins earlier!

The Sibson - Blackbushe problem or anywhere I expect can be even worse when there are aircraft calling or being called with the same letters in the abreviated call sign. It happened to me recentlly.
