Frequencies
And now to the most important part... Unfortunately many pages that used to hold frequencies disappeared after 9/11. With the exception of the Mass.Military page, Ike's Scanner Page was used as a starting source; however, much of the data presented there is very old and of questionable value. If you have more up to date information, please consider registering with this site and contributing!
Unless otherwise stated, all frequencies are in the AM mode.
Be sure to always keep 255.400 in your scanner - this is the Nationwide Flight Service Station frequency. Often flights will call in using this frequency looking for weather or other related information.
