Hi all.
I'm off to Dorset for my holidays next week, staying just east of Dorchester.
Any chance of a heads-up from anyone local there as to what are the most useful freqs to programme into my scanner for overflights? (Mainly interested in upper airways stuff, but all info welcome.) I will be putting in the Bournemouth/Hurn freqs too, but I'm not sure how useful they will be that far away.
I always do my best to look airways freqs up in Airwaves and UKAIP, but I usually get totally flummoxed and end up programming the wrong ones in... :-[
Thanks in advance.
try mhm's webpage Capt.http://www.air.radiouk.com/london.html.
Yes, thanks for that. What I had more in mind was just a couple of frequencies specific to the Dorchester area from someone with local knowledge.
For example, here in Altrincham I have all the frequencies programmed in, but in reality I only have to scan 132.86 and 131.13 to get most of the upper airways stuff passing above me, even though the descriptions of those two, (Lakes South and Sector 32/Daventry), wouldn't necessarily draw anyone visiting this area to them as being the 'obvious' ones to listen to.
As I say, I have all the frequency lists to hand, but I often choose the wrong ones when I go on me hols despite them appearing to be correct in the lists.
Perhaps I could put it another way.
Is there anyone local to Dorchester who can confirm that the frequencies I ought to programme in there are 128.815, (Berry Head Upper, Sector 36) and 129.425, (Hurn West, Sectors 20 -21)?
Those, plus 126.075 and 132.840
On the two freqs. mentioned by "G4" you should get two-way transmissions as the transmitter is at Ventnor on the Isle of Wight

Roger dodge! Just what I was after!
Thanks for that; much appreciated.
128.815 and 129.425 are transmitted from Ventnor too. I got good reception from there when I was in Shanklin a few weeks ago! ;D
