How many of you in the USA use the same frequency when flying cross-
country as in the traffic-pattern?
(i.e. you _don't_ switch frequencies when you're returning to the
airport and preparing to land)

As an alternate way to ask the same question: *How many soaring sites
have you been to, where they didn't have a separate frequency for
landing traffic?

[this may seem like an odd question, but I have a good reason for
asking]

Outside of departure and arrival, I only dial into the "home"
frequency when I'm in the vicinity (maybe a 5 mile radius). Away from
home (and other airfields), I generally monitor 123.3. If I pass by
other airports close enough, I'll dial in the frequency and announce
my presence. Although only if I'm a bit low.
