Narrative:

There is cause for concern at denton airport. There are too many airports on denton's advisory frequency. There is also a traffic congestion problem due mainly from the training flts from dallas addison airport, because mckinney airport won't allow touch-and-go's. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states mckinney airport has reopened and allows touch-and-go lndgs so traffic congestion is much less. Frequency congestion will not improve until some of the unicom frequencys are changed. They are too close and overlap when trying to communicate. Analyst suggested that he and others who have similar concerns contact the FSDO for assistance.
