Narrative:

Inbound from the west to coq at and descending from 13000' IFR; I could not pick up the coq AWOS due to a conflicting ASOS at pwc on the same frequency (118.525) until I was very close in to coq. In the considerable distance in which these transmitters conflict; I initially put in the wrong altimeter setting (pwc's) due to the garbled transmission. These airports are only 77 NM apart and should not share the same frequency for automated weather.
