These are the ones I have down on my list that I have heard in 2013, from Jan to Jul each year I mark them if I hear something on them to keep up to date, I cant post my table here with all the details etc so I have just pasted the freq's for you. All AM as far as I am aware:


121.3
132.9
250.85
256.675
277.775
308.5
308.62

378.5
308.625

243.4
409.8
122.45
119.375
127.35

Just had a radio call to Ops (Possibly 8 Sqn) on 386.625 so that confirms that frequency is also still in use.

Be aware:
I have not heard some of these for some time
Some of them change use or are referred to by different names (For example I know of a couple of active frequencies that are called everything)
The odd one may actually be listed incorrectly

Big Thanks LincsVRS

Hi / thanks for the freqs . ROB

Hope you don't mind LincsVRS, just a few 25hz step corrections :-

259.520 is 259.525
298.945 don't know
308.620 is 308.625
409.515 don't know

232.350 looks to be a new Wadding approach frequency, first time I've heard today.

Snapshot called up on 280.175 (new director freq) but was told to contact on the above.

I can only hear the a/c on this frequency quietly, not the ground controller (I can normally hear all coms from the tower from home) , so not sure whats occurring there!

Not seen in reported anywhere else.

Mike

Thought I'd do a Waddington Frequency update:

The bottom three have not been heard for sometime, possibly last year for CW Ex?
231.8 Radar
362.3 NATO Approach

Any additions or amends welcome.

Mike

369.4 in use today with NATO31 reporting "tech codes".

Interesting, they used Aden ops this morning.

Thanks

This is what I've managed to put together for waddington -

Grd 342.125 1
Twr 241.325 2
App 345.075 3
Dir 280.175 4
PAR 1 344.200 5
PAR 2 376.200 6
Zone 232.700
Ops 297.975 (shadow)
Ops. 343.975 (aden)
Ops 369.400 (Vulcan)
Zone 119.500
Twr 121.300
Twr nato 122.100
App nato 123.300
Zone 125.350

Scampton's are in the same bank so I just add the following -

Grd. 336.525
Twr. 340.675

Are there any other frequencies that might be useful?

I also had an Approach frequency of 128.95. Heard in January 2020.

Isn't that southend's approach frequency?

That is 130.7750

Good effort Captain Salmon

Seen it listed on 2 sites as a southend frequency . . .

https://www.military-airshows.co.uk/freqairport.htm

https://airportnavfinder.com/airport/EGMC/

Never had it as a waddington frequency
