[Scan-DC] 118.125 is a GK freq after all

[ka3jjz at NETSCAPE.COM]

 A couple of days ago, I posted that 118.125 didn't sound like a Giant Killer freq at all, as I had heard several commercial flights here (Continental, British Airways, Delta among others). Well, upon reviewing the recordings, I got a few instances where they were calling Giant Killer - and in at least 1 case, a Continental flight made a call to 'Center' and GK responded.

 This was a first for me - I had never heard a GK station act somewhat like an ARTCC Center freq. But I suppose it makes sense, if the commercial flight has to traverse their airspace. It's evidently the same reason a commercial flight would call Andrews - for coordination and traffic control thru their airspace.
