[MilCom] Presidential CAP over Philly

[Terry Pavlick]

Ben:

That was 125.45 AM - which is Washington Center frequency for the area from 
basically Trenton NJ thru Southern New Jersey, Delaware, NE Maryland and SE 
Pennsylvania.  The controller handles flights above Philadelphia TCA and to 
about 25 thousand feet.  The frequency is active for flights inbound to 
Newark NJ and NY Airports along with handling the traffic moving NE toward 
Boston and overseas.

The CAP was in the area he controlled so there was some coordination needed 
in the beginning of the CAP.

Hope this helps
