A few months ago, Marshfield, MA airport changed their ID from a #letter# ID (3B2) to GHG. What is the point of doing this? Is it just so the airport feels better about itself or what?
Thanks

Yup, they do. That makes sense.They have an ASOS now, right?

When you have a radio station in the vicinity of an airport you get the three letter.
ASOS/AWOS/ILS/LOC/VOR/SDF/LDA/NDB, etc...
No, it's not the navaid, or even an AWOS/ASOS itself, it's the connection of the AWOS/ASOS to the national weather reporting system which triggers the change to a 3-letter ID.

We will be getting ASOS or AWOS at LDJ shortly (construction in full swing) will that mean a frequency change? Right now LDJ shares 123.00 CTAF/Unicom with a good number of other nearby Jersey airports. I would think a frequency change witht he addition of any of the above weather reporting systems would require a change, correct?
