I recall working with a former Denver Center controller nearly twenty =

years
ago who described working a sector with multiple transceiver sites =

using the
same frequency. He had to select which site to use depending on the
location of the aircraft.

I've run into that with Centers covering mountainous areas, too.
The first time, I thought I was losing coverage because I could barely
hear the controller talking to other aircraft on the frequency.
When I asked if he could copy me, he replied loud and clear to my area,
and explained what I'd just experienced was exactly as Steven described.

I wouldn't try to guess whether Phoenix Tracon might have a similar =
setup.
