Narrative:
Over the last 2 months 118.77 has become increasingly unreliable. This morning 5 aircraft reported the frequency as broken on main, standby, and buec, yet when af came up to listen the radio check was loud and clear so no action will be taken. This is an ultra high sector with a lot of separation and spacing required.
