Given the small amount/number of frequencies, I doubt that you have exclusive use of YOUR frequency. I put the word "our" when mentioning the frequency in quotation marks because I *don't* know if it is registered to our FBO with the FCC ... it is on all our documentation as our "base station" frequency, and it is also listed in the Flight Guide (which I realize doesn't necessarily mean anything). There should be air to air frequencies and Multicom (122.9) for air to ground that should be used for such purposes that the "unwitting pilots" are using them for, but that being said I doubt that any FBO has standing to claim a frequency for exclusive use. Maybe my term "unwitting pilots" was out of line...I expect a pilot from out of the area may not know it's used for our FBO without having specifically looked at our info. And no, we don't try to "shoo them off" when we hear them; however, we do tell them that they are chatting on our aircraft-to-FBO frequency. I've yet to hear any conversation on that frequency *between aircraft not from our FBO* that consists of anything other than "hey Bill, what time did your wife say you had to be back today?" or "I'm over Dead Tree Road, where are you?" ... and when we tell them they're on an FBO frequency, they pretty much tell us to "f@#$-off" too, just as another poster said. |
