Isn't it ironic?

Can you imagine? Little children look up to us.

isn't 123.45 the frequency WORLD WATCH ONE uses?

Many years ago, a highly secret organization used 123.45mhz to keep tabs on certain transdimensional activities in the New Jersey Area.

World Watch One was set up to investigate and counter a threat from the 8th dimension by lord whorfin. use of the previously restricted freqency was granted under the transient bomber bill passed by the US congress. World Watch One was a mobile unit with special investigative instruments and was manned by the famous COLODNY brothers, Perfect Tommy, Rawhide, Reno, New Jersey and someone who will remain nameless for the time being!

It was only recently that 123.45 was granted international use. And monitoring is not unheard of now a days.

IT IS therefore possible that a reflected , or so called bounceback transmission, from some 12.0 light years away (in the neighborhood of the dog star, sirius) has recently been heard on certain trans atlantic flights.
as these transmissions may have included ship to ship chatter during an active combat mission, many oaths, epitaths and the like may have been uttered in the heat of battle(though be it known that blue blaze strike teams were not involved)...certain other phrases if heard in the next few days may permeate the airwaves.

therefore be on guard for such phrases as:

MONKEY BOY

and "it ain't my planet monkey boy".

tests of the oscillation overthuster at a nevada test site in the next few days may also cause interference on the above frequency.

SO PLEASE USE CAUTION and do not take personal offense MONKEY BOY.

If someone knows who this individual is perhaps they might inform him that offensive language is prohibited by FCC rules amongst others.
FCC regs prohibit profanity, not offensiveness. There's still a difference.

Icepack ,sorry for the ignorance,but where I fly, the 123.45 freq is used only for 'chatting' ,so if one want to improve one's knowlege of foreign languages should listen on 123.45 ,otherwise only 121.5 is mandatory on our books..
I'm not flying NAT and I don't intend to,so I'm a bit 'ignorant ' on MNPS ...my loss

You guys have your priorities all messed up. Try reading the paper, listening to your ipod and pull your laptop out.

Technically, it's (reasonably) simple to silently encode an aircraft's registration and even position on each voice transmission, at least on VHF, so that a suitably equipped receiver would flash up the transmitter's ID. Complexity and cost need not be an issue - I have a pair of $20 walkie-talkies that do this.

I can see good safety reasons for doing this - identifying stuck microphones, an extra level of information during emergencies, an aid to ATC in general - and it would have a salutary effect on radio discipline. And the quality of abuse: if you're going to crack a joke on 123.45, you'll make sure it's good enough to have your name attached.

Sometimes it does get inspired though. Not so long ago eastbound, some wise guy transmitted the sound of a crowing rooster just as the sun’s corona was becoming visible at thirty west. Instantly followed by a multi-aircraft barnyard chorus of pigs, cows, donkeys, sheep etc etc.

Amazing really, what airline pilots store on their laptops.

Yep,
once on T16 northbound from Canarias I heard on 123.45 the unmistakable soundtrack from the climactic portion of a porn movie. Lasted for about 10 seconds. Well it was either a porn movie or the real thing...

It was only after my colleague returned from the loo that I realised I should have asked for a ride report.

Just a quick question. Seems to me like 123.45 is not just used in "remote and oceanic areas" anymore like it was designated many moons ago. Anybody knows any airfields that operate on 123.45 and might be hindred by all the chit-chat?

Have to admit it was very useful when coordinating a very loose formation of four small aircraft over the channel a while ago, particularly when one, for undetermined reasons, could not talk to London Info.
