we use the local airport freq (0L7, Jean NV 122.9) when staying in the
valley
That's interesting. I presume 122.9's the CTAF freq for
Jean? Around here (Northeast U.S.), gliders will seldom use
CTAF unless they are entering the pattern for landing, so it
would be hard to determine there was any glider flying with
that freq. It's way too crowded a freq. for typical glider
communications, so gliders will go to 123.3. or 123.5 even
when staying within the 10-15 mile local area that keeps
them within glide range of home.
