Please be aware that all new 8.33kHz station frequencies will be active from 1.1.2019. All old frequencies are outdated.

We updated the LKmaps database server with the OpenAIP database, so please make sure, to update your waypoint files. Only the AIP files are up to date please don't use the CUP format.
Here is the list of the updated countries:

For manual updates we recommend the OpenAIP, OpenFlightmaps or soaringweb websites.
http://www.openaip.net/
https://www.openflightmaps.org/
http://soaringweb.org/TP/
or the data provided by the local authorities (e.g. DAeC for Germany)

regards

Unfortunately, those I've checked for my home airfield, Camphill, UK, are still showing the 25 spacing 129.975, instead of the new 8.33 spacing of 129.980.

Sorry Dave, you are right.

I did crosschecks for Austrian, Germany and the Nehterlands, all OK.
Seems OpenAIP has not updated your airfield. Could you please check if this is for more airfields the case?

I see only a few with new frequency spacing notation.
OpenAIP depends on the user inforations, maybe OpenAIP is not very popular in the UK? or can stay on 25kHz due to Brexit? ;-)

All of the gliding club frequencies in UK still show the old 25 spacing, because these are not airfield specific, but are listed under "Common Sporting and Recreational Assignments including Safetycom".

so... you are jumping a gun Dave - patience my boy :-)

No, not a false start, I am fully aware of the above date, just pointing out that these were supposed to be the new settings, and some are not. Also, some frequencies, not just the emergency one, are remaining as 25 spacing for some time. I have been in contact with Scottish at Prestwick about the one we use to contact them to open our wave box, and this stays as is. The reason is, and I quote, "that NATS has a requirement to keep some frequencies with 25kHz spacing as some aircraft will have exemptions for a period of time. These are generally ‘state’ aircraft and not necessarily from the European area".
All a bit of a mess really, just like Brexit.
