Fine! That should be not a problem. With the X/Y/Z position of the
tower and the plane I can calculate the distance and decide if joining a
frq can be done or not.

Every frq is an extension og the ATC-VoIP-Server with a conference room. The
ATC is the admin of the conference room. He can use a simple VoIP-client
(e.g. iaxcomm). The only problem is: What to do with overlapping frqs on
the same VoIP-Server? I think the extension must also have the ICAO of
the airport in the extension. But these are smaller problems :-)

With VoIP/Asterisk it is NO problem to build network of VoIP-Servers.
This means: If there is a server which serves KLAX and you change your 
frq to EDDT you can keep in touch with your asterisk. You can configure
a trunk to other servers. Best practice should be a master and slaves
which uses default trunks to the master. But that is future. First of
all we can use my test server.
