Shoreham ATIS NOTAM

A couple of weeks ago Shoreham (EGKA) issued a NOTAM regarding a change of frequency for their ATIS from 125.30 to 130.975MHz. This is quite important as their ATC expect inbound aircraft to have the latest ATIS information prior to establishing contact, but no indication of this NOTAM appears when planning a route to EGKA, or routing near (<10 miles) to their zone.

Is it possible the wording of the NOTAM did not include a time frame, in which case Skydemon may only have issued the warning on the day of issue? Or has this been missed by mistake? Either way it would be good if the NOTAM warning could be added to aid those operating in the EGKA area. (I heard two pilots being politely reprimanded yesterday regarding their lack of information re the ATIS)

Thanks

They are real-time via our connection with Eurocontrol. The maximum delay between publication of a new NOTAM and it appearing on your SkyDemon software should be 15 minutes (they are usually published days or weeks in advance). If the NOTAM data you are seeing is out of date, a notice will be shown in the NOTAM briefing window.
