Is there no mandatory frequency/ unicom in use at this a/p?
Surely the CAP use radio!

Yes. Of course there is. However, the same frequency is in use at other airports in the area. Transmissions get stepped on, some radios don't transmit well, some don't recieve well, microphones are of varying quality, people get distracted and miss a transmission, both transmitting and receiving, sometimes people switch frequencies and forget to switch back. In other words, lots of reasons why radios, and other technologies are not perfect answers to aviation safety issues.
