Default Useless radio transmissions

Sounds like you might be complaining about the symptoms, not the
actual problem (i.e. multiple airports on the same frequency)... I
always wondered why the FAA does this... There seems to be enough
frequencies that they could spread them out a bit...


I'm not sure which way I lean on this. Flying low through an area with
several nontowered airports, it is useful to self-announce to all of
them as I go by, and since they can be fairly close together, I may be
relevant traffic for two or three at a time. A common frequency is
useful for this. It does have its drawbacks though, as you can see.

How far out do you (as a pilot in the pattern of a nontowered airport)
want to hear from a low transiting pilot?
