No, it was also 130.1 (our glider club's frequency, which we share with
another glider club on the other side of the water). I was quite
surprised when I heard someone from Carlisle on that frequency, too.


That frequency is used frequently by gliding especially in competitions

This is a question from a BGA exam paper

the frequencies allocated to competitions?

A. Primary 130.1 MHZ and secondary 130.125 MHZ.

B. Primary 130.1 MHZ and secondary 129.9 MHZ.

C. Primary 130.125 MHZ and secondary 130.4 MHZ.

D. Primary 130.4 MHZ and secondary 129.975 MHZ.
