[net.aviation] some FAA vhf/uhf scanner freqs in Illinois

parnass@ihu1h.UUCP (Bob Parnass, AJ9S) (01/11/85)

Here are some vhf/uhf FAA frequencies for Illinois.  Many of the entries
marked "govt recds" are from US Government files dated May 1984.
Several of these frequencies are in use in other areas of the USA.

There are many more, particularly in the 225 - 400 MHz military aero
band and the 108 - 132 commercial aircraft band, but they are just too
numerous to print in one listing.

The FAA also maintains several networks on the HF bands.

Don't bother to post the obvious ones at all (like the few navaids you
have posted).  If you want to know what they are you can go about it one
of two ways.

The Airport Facilities Directory lists Frequency for navigational aids
and airport communcations by Name.  Each entry includes type and lat/long
coordinates for the station.  This includes listings for ILS systems.
Also, an explanation on how the ILS system works appears in the Airmans
Information Manual.

For those who prefer a more pictorial view, you can get the Sectional or
WAC charts for your area.

You can find all of these at your local general aviation air port.
