This subject seems to be a burr under everyone's saddle.

It's not a burr under my saddle, It wouldn't be the first time some 121 or 91 GV pukes overflew a drop zone I was in free fall at or dropping jumpers at, who didn't know where they were or dare look at a chart to see what the CTAF was at an airport plainly marked as one with skydiving operations.

You overfly that drop zone in Texas without monitoring 123.45, you take your own smarmy life into your hands.

So you might as well tell all the flights coasting out at 50w that the frequency is not to be used to find out if a certain "girl" is still working at a hotel. Or what the latest rumor is.

I've had to use 123.45 to relay to make a position report. When you need to do that everyone shuts up and lets whomever get the info across and then the acceptance of a position from the relay plane.

Then its back to yackity yack from whomever is on the freq.

How about "Low Bond" (120.07) and "High Bond" (130.07). Will I go to h-e-double toothpicks for blabbing on them?

If I get caught and anyone asks I'll just say I heard on the internet it was okay. That's the Flightinfo defense -- good in 39 states and the District of Columbia.

What a jackass.

Just stay off "Winchester." That's mine, as is FL420.
