TWR CTLRS AT GYH ARPT RPT THEY ARE UNABLE TO CTL RWY AND APCH LIGHTING THAT SHARES A UNICOM FREQ WITH NEARBY CLEMSON ARPT. IT IS RPTED THAT THE ILS MONITORING PANEL IS NOT LOCATED IN THE TWR.

Narrative

ATC TWR PERSONNEL DO NOT HAVE CTL OF APCH LIGHTS AND DO NOT HAVE A MONITOR PANEL FOR APCH LIGHTS. ALSO; THE RWY LIGHTS AND APCH LIGHTS ARE CTLED BY PLT CTL ON THE UNICOM FREQ 122.7; WHICH ALSO CTLS THE RWY LIGHTING AT THE NEARBY CLEMSON ARPT. ALSO; THE MONITOR PANEL FOR THE ILS RWY 5 SYSTEM IS IN THE FIRE DEPT BLDG INSTEAD OF THE CTL TWR. THESE ARE UNSAFE SITS THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACFT ACCIDENT DURING LOW CEILINGS AND LOW VISIBILITY. THESE SITS CAN EASILY BE RECTIFIED BY MOVING THE ILS MONITORS TO THE CTL TWR. THE APCH LIGHTS AND RWY LIGHTS CAN SIMPLY BE FIXED SO THAT CTLRS CAN TURN THEM ON AND OFF FROM THE CTL TWR. THE PLT CTL RWY AND APCH LIGHTING CAN SIMPLY BE FIXED BY GETTING NEW CRYSTALS FOR THE FREQ 133.32; WHICH IS THE CTAF FREQ FOR THE DONALDSON CTR ARPT. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID THE RWY AND APCH LIGHTING IS FREQ CTLED AND THAT THE FREQ IS SHARED WITH NEARBY CLEMSON ARPT. HE SAID LIGHT SETTINGS ARE CHANGED CAUSING CONFUSION WHEN PLTS SELF ANNOUNCE POS AND MAKE TFC RPTS.
