For flights taking off or landing at UK airfields with no assigned frequency, it would be useful if the Safetycom frequency 135.480 could be listed on the PLOG.  It might encourage people to use it!  
It would be useful if the new LL-Common Frequency 130.490 MHz could be included in the enroute frequency listing, for similar reasons.

Just bumping this, following a flight yesterday.  PLEASE could we have the destination frequency listed on the Skydemon PLOG for all UK airfields?  For UK airfields without an assigned frequency that is 135.480 (Safetycom).  Surely it is possible to list this against the airfield entry? Pooleys and AFE both seem to manage.

The background in this case is that I made a last minute decision to fly to Salcombe Bold Head (WX).  The frequency for Bolt Head is 135.480, and calling up on arrival and departure is a mandatory condition of use.  Alas, I forgot to look up the frequency and write it on my Skydemon PLOG before departure.  Luckily I was able to find it in the PPR confirmation e-mail on my phone, and of course I could have called up London Information to ask for the frequency.  Neither are ideal for obvious reasons.  I should really have checked for missing frequencies on the Skydemon PLOG before departure, but I have grown used to having all the necessary frequencies for the flight listed on the PLOG (particularly the destination), with the single exception of this blind spot.
