What are CATCC's secondary control radio circuits?

Secondary control radio circuits provide backup communications for CATCC so it can maintain control if the primary circuits fail. The guard channel is the emergency, continuously monitored link used for distress and immediate control. The L/L channel acts as a back-up local/long-range path to keep talk with aircraft and ships in the area when the primary nets aren’t available. Air tactical frequencies handle coordination of aircraft operations around the carrier. Together, these back-up channels ensure CATCC can still issue instructions and receive reports even when the main control channels are down. Other frequencies like admin, weather, or CCA serve different roles and aren’t used as the secondary control set.
