ZBW using 127.975 Today
« on: June 05, 2024, 22:55:23 UTC »
For those who are interested, ZBW is using 127.975 today instead of 133.425.  A new feed (Bosox Spare) has been set up for this frequency.  You can find it by going here:

Looks like it offline now. Im curious as to why they put it up? Is it one they use at heavy times?

Could be a number of reasons... maybe they activated it as a training sector or maybe they were doing maintenance on the 133.425 site.  ZBW and ZNY have been using spare frequencies a lot lately, in fact, ZNY is simulcasting on 121.125 at this moment but the controller is still working on 133.5
