[MilCom] New England Activity 134.10

[Dave Holford]

For many years 134.1 was the standard GCA (PAR) frequency for the 
Canadian Military.
Every base I ever flew from, or later controlled traffic from, had 134.1 
as the primary GCA VHF.
Back in the days of crystals 134.1 was in every RCAF aircraft VHF 
transceiver - along with 126.2 (formerly 126.18) military tower common.

Also, there were always additional frequencies assigned, at both 
military and civilian ATC units which were not listed in the supplement. 
Some were listed on approach charts and others just did not appear. 
Nothing special about not listing them - the purpose of the publications 
is to provide aircrew with information to make contact, not to list 
every single frequency which might possibly be in use at some time or 
another.(some of which may not be continually monitored and only used 
under specific situations - ie.. especially heavy traffic periods or 
during specific types of operation).  Additionally, sometimes an 
unlisted ATC frequency might be assigned to a particular exercise as a 
tactical frequency on the grounds that while they were not working ATC; 
ATC might have information of interest to them and could always pass 
that information (been there, done that, many times).

This is not just true of VHF/UHF, also the HF listings are of the common 
frequencies which are always monitored - a station may have a number of 
discrete HF frequencies which are in regular use but not monitored so 
listing them in flight publications serves no useful purpose.

And, as I'm sure many of you are aware, there is a great deal of 
military traffic on VHF and it seems to be on the increase in recent years.
