[Scan-DC] Multiple Tornadoes, Collapse, general alarm Chas. Cty. MD 19:15

Sun, 28 Apr 2002 20:40:37 -0400

    I am hearing  the 158.775 mhz. (ch. 1) Charles County dispatch
transmission relatively  noise free near Petersburg, Va.  I thought it was a
repeater operation, but I am hearing only the base station, no mobiles.  Is
it a simplex or cross frequency operation?
