Narrative:
A320 contacted me on west departure. The aircraft's route of flight was such that the pilot should have contacted ATC on the east departure frequency. This was the third such incident that I am aware of during my 8 hour shift. Aircraft on the wrong frequency in accordance with the mem 7 departure happens multiple times on a daily basis.
