John,

120.6 is the approach frequency for BOS south. It's on the Low Altitude
Enroute chart, the approch charts, and the AFD. Are you thinking of a center
frequency?

The low altitude frequency for BOS approach south of either BOS
R270 or near Interstate 90 is charted as 124.1 Mhz. Maybe that
is the frequency that they use at 3 AM on a Sunday morning, but
I've always been asked to use 120.6, both on initial call ups or
handoffs from another sector. This frequency isn't charted. Why
don't they chart 120.6 since it is the commonly used frequency?

No, I am not thinking of a center frequency. As I mentioned, I was thinking of
Boston TRACON's frequency of 120.6. Yes, this frequency may be on IFR approach
charts for Boston airport and it may be on Instrument enroute charts. When
flying IFR you would use the frequency that is given to you anyway.

120.6 is not charted on the VFR sectional or the TAC, yet they (Boston
approach) will nearly always switch you to 120.6 south of I-90 (an easily
recognizable landmark when flying VFR) if you called up on the charted frequency
of 124.1.
