[Scan-DC] 133.525

[Henry Bright]

Going through the archives from Monday night, the TWR controller asked the
helicopters on 134.35 to switch to 133.525 because of a stuck mic on
134.35. Same thing happened a few months ago, but the controller asked the
helicopters to switch to 257.6, which is the UHF version of DCA TWR 119.1.
I presume the switch to 133.525 indicates that they’ve opened a new
frequency, which I’m guessing is the UHF equivalent of 134.35, in the last
few months.

Also, for what it’s worth, after the controller requested helis to switch
to 133.525, he could be heard on 134.35 basically doing a roll call of the
helicopters to make sure they had all switched and to account for which one
had the stuck mic. So I guess he was simulcasting on both freqs.
