Why the F can't the FAA update their charts when they send out updated charts. Case it point:

KFIT FITCHBURG MUNI
03/004 - COM REMOTE COM OUTLET 118.025 CHANGED TO 122.15. 07 MAR 17:46 2017 UNTIL PERM.
CREATED: 07 MAR 17:46 2017

Changed in March, still wrong on new chart.

If so then I completely deny it or I'm in denial, can never get those two right.

Not a lot of changes from the old one. I only saw one thing that I haven't noticed on charts before, Stand Alone DME symbols. Continuous TFR's like disneyland. The magenta diamond sport TFR symbol. The diamond with an A in it for aerobatic areas. Minimum Turning Altitude flag on IFR charts. Cold Weather symbol on approach charts. There's 2 new sectionals in the carribean to cover the WAC's going away. Not a lot seeing as it's been about 6 years since the last version.
