Absolutely, Robert. It's a wonder nobody thought of this before! Ask for 118.02, 119.62, 119.82, 120.17 and 122.02. While they're on the phone ask what it would cost.
Graeme,
Those frequencies you've listed above are the set that I already knew to be allocated to the GFA some time back. Strictly, you're 0.005 Mhz off the mark with them according to data I can find with a few quick Google searches...
For the benefit of others, try searching for '118.025 gliding' with Google.com.au (http://www.google.com.au/search?q=118.025+gliding&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8)
Here is just one example of the results:
GFA Radio Frequencies 118.025 119.825 122.025 122.700 119.625 120.175 122.500 122.900
(From page 10 of this file : http://www.bathurstsoaring.org.au/files/Thermal-Summ2002-2003-p.pdf )

I would imagine that these frequencies aren't costing more money to hold, so surely the GFA hasn't subsequently just handed them back.... or have they?
I've tried searching things like the ACA's register of licenses for radio frequencies and it just creates more confusion for me.
For example, searching the ACA's database for '122.5' returns four licensees listed against that frequency - two gliding clubs and two priviate individuals (!) - and no sign of an entry in the name of the GFA.
(Go to http://www.aca.gov.au/pls/radcom/register_search.main_page and plug in '122.5 Mhz' as the starting and ending frequency and hit 'search')
Graham, methinks you know the back-story here. I'd sincerely love to know what is up on this front. Can you tell us what it is?
Yours in confusion,
Simon Hackett
