[Scan-DC] Additional tornado info . . . another good freq

[Frederick J Cox]

All-
	Try 46.42 also - it is a simulcast of Charles Fire Channel 1, and
is usually stronger than 158.7750.  Sorry I ommitted.
	I'll have many more comments on the radio system problems, but in
the mean time, I would like to salute the fire dispatch officers.  They
were even better than the police dispatch, and handled the calls with
authority in the face of true disaster, even without a repeater.  The
panic of having building collapses, with entrapments, numbering in the
*teens*, coming in over the course of 5 minutes is numbing, but they were
professional.
	The local news had most of the details, so I won't repeat, but the
damage is extensive, and from what I can tell, not everyone is accounted
for yet, with one confirmed fatality.  National guard is on the scene, as
is SHA and County Public Facilities. . .
	I'm off to recuperate . . .

Rick
