And some help themselves by posting questions on newsgroups.

It was not that I did not find your post helpful. It was the sarcasm that
you applied. In the original message, I stated that "I was having trouble
locating..." i.e.: I had already looked for myself.

You might also want to look at
http://www.radioreference.com/module...me=RR&ctid=321 for
non-aircraft frequencies.

Okay, now that my blood pressure has leveled off and I have realized that
Brad definitely IS the always right / last word types, I would like to thank
all of you that have offered suggestions and help IN A CIVIL manner.
Anyway, I laughed brad off by telling my wife I was going to start a NG
....."rec.how.to.be.rude"

I guess in reality, I took it to far by letting this get to me.

Thanks again,
Glenn.

Hi all:

I just purchased my first scanner in hopes of getting into a new hobby.
With this in mind, I will apologize in advance if some of my questions
seem "elementary"

I am also interested in aviation but cannot seem to locate a good listing
of airport frequencies. I am assuming that airports all operate on one
specific frequency for a great deal of their communications with the
aircraft. Could someone please give me these frequencies or direct me to
a website where I could get them?

Also, I have been told that purchasing a frequency "guide" would be a
waste of my money. Could I please have your opinion that would include a
good source of frequencies?

I live in South Florida, Broward county to be exact, and would also be
interested in a local "club".

Thank you in advance fir any help you may be able to give me.
Glenn

Brad, the asshole.

Right about this point I would like to introduce you to a system known as
Google. It's quite incredible really. I'm surprised you seem unfamiliar
with
it operation.

Airports do not operate on one frequency. They use several (small GA
airports) to dozens (larger airports)

a search on Broward County Airport returned:

Airport / FBO Information
KFLL FORT LAUDERDALE/HOLLYWOOD INTL FORT LAUDERDALE
FL Time Zone: ET

Lat: N 2604.4 Long: W 08009.2 Elev: 9 Var: +04 Longest
Runway: 9000
Clr Del: 128.4 Dept. ATIS: 135.0 Arr. ATIS: 135.0
Ground:
121.4/121.7 Tower: 119.3/120.2

ATIS is Airport Terminal Information service.
CLR DEL is Clearance Delivery
Dept Departures
Ground is for ground movements
Tower is, well, for the Tower.

Try it for yourself, you'll get results within millisecond, instead of
days
awaiting others to do all the work for you.

Brad.

Glenn,

Greetings. I can recommend a few things to you since I live in your
area.

First, there is a local group that is part of Yahoo Groups. I'm not
sure if you are familiar with this or not, but go here and do some
reading:

http://groups.yahoo.com/

The name of the group I'm talking about is SEFLORIDA. Here is a
direct URL for the group:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SEFLORIDA/

SEFLORIDA is a group dedicated to South East Florida scanning. It's a
nice bunch of folks. I have done very little posting on the group -
mostly I lurk, but there is a lot to be learned by just reading.

Also, one of the guys on the group makes and sells a book/CD called
the South Florida trunking guide. Here is a link for that book:

http://www.scannerdude.com/

I know you said you into scanning airports, but this book covers all
the counties in South Florida and is a wealth of info. No, I'm not
affiliated with it at all, just a happy customer.

This should give you a pretty good start.

Also, you might want to take a look through Yahoo Groups for your
particular scanner type - there are groups set up for particular
scanners - for example - I've got a Uniden BCD396T and I've learned a
tremendous amount from that group.

Good luck and enjoy. I enjoy listening to the airports myself on
occasion.

Here's a few to get you going for starters:

Air Emergency 121.5000
Mil Air Emerg 243.0000
Miami Inter. 118.3000
Miami - Depart 119.4500
Miami - Approach 120.5000
Miami - Helo 123.0250
Miami - Helo 123.0500
Miami Inter. 123.9000
Miami - Approach 124.8500
Miami - Approach 125.7500
Miami - Approach 127.6500

Air Emergency 121.5000
Ft.Laud-Approach 119.3000
Ft.Laud 120.2000
Ft.Laud Exec AP 120.9000

Air Emergency 121.5000
PBI Airport 118.7500
PBI Airport 119.1000
PBI Approach 124.6000

American 129.2000
United 129.5000
Delta 129.5500
Delta 130.1000
Delta 131.4500

Good luck,

LiRM

Congratulations. You've just totally proved the point I was making in my
original reply to Glenan "Try it for yourself, you'll get results within
millisecond, instead of days awaiting others to do all the work for you."

Glenan posed the original question 6 WEEKS ago. In your reply, apart from
resorting to foul language, you repeated the same URL given him by others,
and also the first URL to top the list in a Google enquiry.

I find it curious that the first and only people in this group to resort to
swearing and name calling have all been Americans. You must be so proud.

Brad.
