No, it was also 130.1 (our glider club's frequency, which we share with
another glider club on the other side of the water). I was quite
surprised when I heard someone from Carlisle on that frequency, too.


That frequency is used frequently by gliding especially in competitions


It wasn't a gliding club radio though, that was the surprise - although
it would make sense that an ATC facility near a gliding club would
monitor 130.1.


Of course that part of the world is popular for gliders what with wave
conditions possible. all the way from Yorkshire up to the Highlands.
