Narrative:
In the naknek, ak, area there are 3 GA airports in close proximity to each other (naknek, south naknek, tibbetts field). The kodiak sectional and the ak supplement show each airport with a different CTAF. 3 airports whose flight patterns overlap as these do should be on the same frequency. Local practice dictates that everyone be on 122.9 CTAF, the supplement and chart should show that.
