Narrative:

Continual chatter among several aircraft in the palmdale lancaster, daggett area made use of 122.75 very difficult and contributed to an unnecessary safety hazard within the new corridor area. In the interest of safety, a single unique frequency should be assigned for use only in the lax corridor.
