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. |

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".

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.
