Narrative:
Cpr charts dated 6/90 and 8/89 (all current) show aas CTAF monitors 118.3 (tower frequency) when tower inoperative (closed). Airport/facility directory (current) states cpr FSS on 122.3 for clrncs when tower closed. Cpr FSS stopped monitoring tower frequency in 1/91. It was a NOTAM for a short time. I never picked it up. I only go into cpr about once a month. I, several of my pilots, and cpr FSS feel that cpr now has 2 CTAF frequencys. We would like to see cpr FSS get 118.3 back again.
