Taxi & takeoff

CTAF 123.0
The common frequency pilots use to announce themselves to each other at a field with no operating control tower. Nobody is controlling traffic — you are self announcing. Report your position and intentions on entry and on each leg of the pattern, and listen well before you transmit.
UNICOM 123.0
A ground station run by the FBO rather than the FAA, for fuel, parking and airport services. Use it for services. Where the field has no separate CTAF, the same frequency doubles as the advisory frequency.

Departure & arrival Lone Star

App/Dep 135.975 (LIKES arrivals; BOTCH · GARLAND departures)
One radar controller working both arrivals and departures — normal at a smaller TRACON. The same frequency takes your climb out and your inbound call.

What to say on 123.0

Nobody is sequencing traffic at 50F, so every call is you telling other aircraft where you are. Open and close with the field name so a pilot tuned to a shared frequency knows which airport you mean — 123.0 is not unique to Bourland Field.
