[Scan-DC] Highway Patrol

[Mike Agner]

  Steve- check our Maryland and Virginia pages, URLs below.  
You want to look at:

Eric Carlson's Montgomery County Page (about 1/2 to 2/3 of the
way down, there's an excellant list of media and traffic helo
freqs)

Maryland State Police Freqs and Barracks Locations
(NOTE:  for the most part, the 39 Mhz freqs are all simplex- so
don't be surprised about not hearing the mobiles- unless you're
getting kinda close, or you have a good VHF-Lo antenna)

on the Virginia Page, start with David Schoenberger's page

The URLs are:  http://henney.com/chm/links/mddatah.htm
               http://henney.com/chm/links/vadatah.htm

I'd also take a look at a couple of sites that I need to add to 
our pages:

Download the Va State Police file from:
http://www.qsl.net/ai4uk/va/index.html

and since most of the media in the Va area have bases in DC:
http://www.wiscomm.com/media/iadmedia.htm

  Oh yes, in Maryland, 123.475 is occasionally used by traffic helos and
fixed wing aircraft used in traffic spotting.  I'd also
scan the 123-124 Mhz and Unicom freqs for other traffic, 
particularly in the DC area.

  73s and good luck...Mike
