[CALV-AUXCOMM] Fwd: Monitoring Ham Bands for Malicious or Suspicious Radio Communication - Mar. 4th thru Mar. 6th

[Shawn Donley]

On second thought, apparently law enforcement believes any troublemakers will lodge and group somewhere outside DC so please keep your radios on and ears open.

> >     Monitoring Ham Bands for Malicious or Suspicious Radio Communication – Mar. 4th thru Mar. 6th heightened level of awareness for Wash. D.C. & adjacent MDC Counties.  Social Media and News outlets report the possibility of additional gatherings, and likely in Washington D.C. So, there is an overall increase in Security and Law Enforcement awareness as well as D.C. .GOV awareness prior to Mar. 4th thru 6th – so we should do the same. If you hear something suspicious, please note freq. or VHF/UHF Repeaters/ Simplex or other linked Radio over IP (RoIP) e.g., EchoLink, DMR, D-Star, WIRES-X etc.
