"Mike Adams" wrote in message news:6rb3c.14830$BA.5150@fed1read03... I've experienced that very situation also, in Denver and ABQ airspace. It got so confusing one time, that the controller had to make a broadcast to explain it to all us VFR flight following types, that he had multiple transmitters on the same frequency, and not to worry if you don't hear every transmission. What I've always wondered, is why do they bother? Are they just trying to save a little electricity? It seems like this switching of transmitters on and off is just extra workload for them with no particular advantage. No one else is using the frequency in that area except him. What am I missing? Self abuse. He can't transmit from multiple sites simultaneously on the same frequency due to interference.
