Just getting started, and have question about what to do to connect to a fellow pilots, flying in the same area.

 

My fellow pilot and I can contact ATC, but if we tune or radios to freq. 122.80 (Unicom), we can not communicate with each other, or any other pilots for that matter.

 

I would appreciate if someone out there can help

Hello, 122.8 this is unicom, text only within about a 50 mile range or so from where you are on the map.

To further our endeavours to bring the Virtual world in line with the real world, I announce the UNICOM frequency for South African aviators and Controllers as amended from 122.8Mhz to 124.8Mhz with immediate effect. As a Pilots you are requested to note this change in your remarks field for others to learn (or as a controller in your ATIS) for at least the next 4 weeks.

 

Fellow pilots (especially foreign) must be requested to broadcast their intentions on 124.8 when OUT OF Controlled airpace. Pilots flying in UNCONTROLLED airspace are requested to do AIREPs every 10 mins on voice and/or text.Any pilots flying in the VATSAF Airpace on the old frequency, will be notified of this change and requested to broadcast on 124.8.Your cooperation is gratefully appreciated.

Kind regards
