| This 'CENTERS' link from the
Freq Of Nature Aviation Monitor Guide is a project of mapping the radio
frequencies used for the highways in the sky. I've compiled this
information to educate myself on the complex nature of radio traffic
emanating from the skies above. Since I enjoy interests in both radio
monitoring and aviation, gaining an understanding of air traffic control
in my neck of the woods has made both interests more enjoyable.
Initially this project called for several maps with accompanying
frequency lists that will allow you to drill down from an overview map
of the ZLA (Los Angeles Center) air space to high altitude sectors, low
altitude sectors, approach controls and eventually to individual
airports.
Due to popular demand, and personal curiosity, the project has been
expanded to include other geographical areas. At first I thought that I
should include the Oakland Center since I can monitor aircraft being
handed off to this neighbor to the north and I wanted to know who/where
they were being handed off to. It was then a natural progression to
include the other neighboring centers, Salt Lake City and Albuquerque.
Then I started to receive requests to include other centers in the
project. |
