Narrative:
Griffin-spaulding county airport and puj paulding county airport in georgia have similar names (spaulding and paulding counties); are relatively close to one another; and are using the same CTAF 123.075. This causes some confusion on the radios especially to training and newly certified pilots. The paulding county airport was just opened and will take many people by surprise if they are unaware of its existence.
