Cool, this evening mill-j and I did some traffic patterns at KHUF (Terre Haute Intl) for about 1.5 hrs.
We talked mainly on it's UNICOM (122.95) and that worked flawlessly for the entire session.
After the flights we tried switching frequencies, which worked good.
Finally I also pulled and pushed my avionics circuit breaker to test signal interruption;: the signal went silent like expected and i was able to pick it up again once the electrical power was reestablished (i did this with the upcoming simplified protocol file).
So, this looks very promising and good!
Now it would be good to have a broader testing with more pilots, so we actually get some traffic on the net
I will do another release shortly to push out the important bug fixes (mumble freezes and stuttering).

Maybe we can establish KHUF as our the testing airport - it has several runways (one equipped with ILS), several frequencies?
This far we always tested at 2100UTC on random days.
FGFS FRQ list is:
- 127.50 ATIS
- 122.95 UNICOM
- 121.60 GND
- 118.90 TWR
- 119.80 APP/DEP
- 125.45 APP/DEP

The NDB southwest at 245kHz and the VORTAC northeast at 115.30 is still current.
