HERE IS AN EMAIL I RECEIVED FRON jOHANN fRONEMAN TODAY

"HI GUYS
JUST SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH THE OUKS , JUST A FEW POINTERS TO WHY THIS FREQ. CHANGE WILL NOT WORK.IMAGINE FLYING IN FROM MORNING STAR TALK TO LB APP. REQUESTING FASD THEY TELL YOU TO CALL FIELD INSIGHT YOU DO, THAN THEY SAY CALL OVERHEAD YOU DO, THEY SAY CALL LEFT DOWN WIND AND THEN FINALS . A GUY WAITING AT THE THRESHOLD CAN'T HEAR YOU BUT CAN'T CALL BACK BECAUSE HE IS NOT SURE IF THE RADIO IS CLEAR.IF HE ACTIVATES THE MIC HE BLOCKS OUT EVERY BODY IN THE HOLE CTR, HE CAN'T TALK TO ANYBODY ON THE GROUND EITHER.

ANOTHER POINT- BUSY WITH A STUDENT ,HE CAN'T PRACTICE HIS CURCUIT CALLS 'CAUSE THE FREQ. IS BUSY WITH L/B PEOPLE . EMERGENCY SITUATIONS IS A DISATER, THEY WANT US TO DO RIGHT HANDS CURCUITS UNFORTUNATELY THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO SIT IN THE LEFT SEAT.

DANGEROUSLY THEY NOW CLEAR THE PEOPLE TO LAND 2.0 AND THE WIND IS 0.2.AT FASD.
DOUBLE INSTRUCTOINS COMES TO A/C ON FINALS, CLEAR TO LAND ON 0.2 FOR SAAF A/C AND FASD A/C AT THE SAME TIME. CONFUSING HEY?

THE ONLY WAY IT WILL WORK IS TO LEAVE FASD ATZ AS IT WAS. A 3 MILE RADIUS UP TO 1500ft WITH FREQ.122.7.WE CALL THEM WHEN AIRBORN ON 122.5 REQUESTING TO DO CURCUITS FOR 1 HR. THEY CLEAR YOU AND INSTRUCT YOU TO CALL ON YOU FINAL APP. FOR FULL STOP LANDING. THEN YOU ARE OKAY.
IF YOU LEAVE THE ATZ YOU MUST CONTACT AND REQUEST LEAVING LIKE WE ALWAYS DID.
UNFORTUNATELY IT IS THE VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY FLYING IN TO FASD THAT DO NOT TALK TO L/B AT ALL, AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD BE EDUCATED INSTEAD OF CHANGING EVERTHING. THESE A/C ARE ALL BIG TIN PLANES NOT MICROLIGHTS BECAUSE THEY ALL KNOW THE PROCEDURES . I GOT THE NOTION THEY WANT MICROLIGHTS OUT OF THEIR AREA .

AT THE MEETING WE WERE NOT ASKED FOR OUR OPINION .
