121.50
Interesting views on this thread - http://www.pprune.org/forums/showthread.php?t=226786 -
It has really surprised me how some of the heavy metal drivers view the GA community. Some rae just as defensive of us and I am pleased to see that. It is well worth reading.

I've been following the thread on R&N with great pleasure!
75% of calls on 121.5 are inadvertent or erroneous commercial calls!
1% of total airtime is taken up with practice / training calls by GA. So that's 99% that isn't.
Can't see that there is much to discuss!

I've also been following that thread but have now got bored with it. I did have one concern though, that being some GA members reading it may be put off from making practice pan calls. Don't be.
D & D are quite happy with practice pan calls, as one of them pointed out to me it is practice for them as well.

PS However chatting on 121.5 is extremely frowned upon

London Information - but as D&D on 121.5 can autotriangulate your position based on comparison of VDF readings there's no earthly reason not to call them first. And anyway they encourage it, whatever the heavy metal drivers say.
