Dave,
120.25 is covered on the KHUL feed.
Except its 104nm from BGR and with no controller reception none of the BGR traffic is being covered on either side. And don't they primarily use 124.750 from HUL, I don't think you are getting anything up there on 120.250 ?
The ZBW frequency used for flights into and out of BGR varies between 124.75 and 124.25...sometimes 128.05.
Has something changed ? A random sampling of 20 BGR departures over the last few days and all the handoffs to ZBW, in various directions, have been to 120.250.
124.25 is the only ZBW transmitter that can (sometimes) be heard from BGR.
The FAA AFF lists both 124.250 and 120.250 at the Saint Albans RCAG (27nm from BGR). Have you tried 120.250 from there recently ? BGR APR can get busy at certain times so I can see there are merits to not having ZBW reception there, but if your intent is to cover BGR flights working ZBW in that area you're not hearing anything.
We'll probably remove 128.05 (covered at KHUL) from the BGR Approach/Departure feed since it is redundant and not useful.
Agree, it's covered better on the other feed.
In that part of Boston Center (Area D) there has been a lot of sector combining due to COVID-19.
Yeah I've never heard anything like it the last few months, even the 128.750 controller was working this sector the other day.
Cheers,
