Narrative:

Was working R-9 tiroe sector and frequency 120.45 failed; the sector next to me R-10 lgc sector also lost their frequency. R-9 was working a push into atl and holding several aircraft when the frequencys failed. There have been numerous FAA trouble reports; ucr's and NASA reports filed over the past 1 1/2 months. This is happening all the time and every time airways facilities says it is fixed and then a couple of days later it fails again. This is a dangerous game the FAA is playing. They need to fix the frequencys.
