Key Takeaways:

  • Salem Tower conducted a routine radio test, announcing it as a "tower test for tapes."
  • A local aircraft, N12345, responded to confirm the transmission was "loud and clear."
  • The brief radio exchange concluded with Salem Tower approving a frequency change for aircraft N12345.

Our tower does periodic checks. About mid-day, I heard on the scanner:

Salem Tower:
“Tower test for tapes. One, two, three. Three, two, one. Test out.”

A Local Aircraft:
“Salem tower, loud and clear. N12345.”

Salem Tower:
“Aircraft N12345: Frequency change approved.”
