Yes, it's interesting. I have both 8906 and 8825 listed as NAT-A, but of
course that may not be right.

Listening to them currently, they keep telling aircraft "primary, this
frequency, secondary 8825". This is a curious choice of secondary frequency,
don't you think?

Usually, they assign a secondary that is on a different band than the
primary. For example, in Auckland, 8867 can be primary, with 13261 as
secondary during the day. At night, its usually 5643 primary and 8867
secondary.

Makes me wonder what good a secondary very close to the primary would be?
Maybe only 8 MHz is usable near Azores right now?

MWARA NAT-B. Working lots of aircraft, secondary is 8825 kHz.


I think 8906 is a NAT-A frequency and 8825 is a NAT-E frequency. Both used

Santa Maria of course.
