Earlier quoted context omitted.
LiveATC uses volunteers to record well-known frequencies at various airports. 120.15 may have been stood-up in an ad hoc fashion, so there was no radio configured to record it. * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airband
When control described it as "discrete" was it because they know that listeners wouldn't be prepared to monitor it? I find it odd that a public frequency would be described as discrete without some greater barrier to listening in.
* careful and circumspect in one's speech or actions, especially in order to avoid causing offense or to gain an advantage.
The word they were using was "discrete":
* individually separate and distinct.
120.15 is/was not used for anything else at Denver, so people could talk about the situation on the ground without effecting the operations elsewhere. Once the problem was 'contained', the rest of the airport could go back to operating 'normally' on the other runways.
