PDX approach on different frequency?

(1/1)

SEA-PAE:
Yesterday, December 31st, I drove to portland for the day. When I was there, the north approach sector was on 133.0 instead of 124.35. this was the frequency listed on old charts. (I don't know when that changed) but I was surprised that it is being used now, since all the current charts show this sector using 124.35. Does anyone know why they switched frequencies?

(If you want to provide a feed for this frequency, the ground transmissions come in clearly along I-5 north of the airport, so it may be transmitting from scappoose or the BTG VOR site)

dave:
There are frequency interference and radio maintenance issues all the time in various places. Perhaps it was just a temporary switch? due to interference or equipment issues? FAA TechOps would know, if anyone knows someone in the area....or any PDX controllers.

JetScan1:
According to NOTAM it's estimated to come back on January 5th.
