Hunter AAF Tower Frequency Change

Hunter Army Airfield's tower frequency has changed from 133.550 to 124.975. According to a NOTAM, the change occured on 21 November 2007. I was working midnights last week, so between that and the holiday, my monitoring was limited and I didn't notice the change until this past weekend. Some users haven't seemed to have noticed the change and have still been calling on 133.550. Additionally, Base Ops' radio is still multicasting on 133.550 with 126.200 when the tower is closed.

133.550 is now being used as an ARTCC frequency. I'm not sure which center or sector it might be, but I've heard traffic reporting over 40,000 feet.
