Controller messages over frequency addressed to multiple frequencies

[norrisng]

Sometimes, when a controller sends a message over their frequency, their messages are addressed to multiple frequencies. In particular, it seems that the message is transmitted over both the controller's primary frequency and their ATIS frequency.

Example:

• A controller has the frequency 118.100, and an ATIS frequency of 132.850
• Messages will appear to be addressed to @18100&@32850
• e.g. #TMXXX_TWR:@18100&@32850:Insert message here

From the data currently available, it seems that this does not occur with CTR controllers. However, the above-mentioned issue may simply not have surfaced yet, due to FCOM users mainly receiving text messages while far away from the airport the ATIS is associated with.
