I cant see where 120.95 is in the list of ACC freqs - so i am guessing that it is a hardly used or secondary freq. Not normally used

The normal ATC freq used in and around the CFS area is 122.6

[wxyz2009]

Yeah, I don't know. That's just according to ACMA. But, I just picked up them frequencies in that order from North to South (Bris. to New).

What's the AWIS and PMQ stand for?

AWIS - Automatic Weather Information Service - used at non controlled aerodromes.
ATIS is used at controlled aerodromes.

PMQ - Code for Port Macquarie Aerodrome

What's this mean: CFS VOR/DME ?

VOR/DME - Visual Omni Range/Distance Measuring Equipment (navigation aids)
