I used to live right near that intersection.  There's a fire station 
right at that corner.  It would be interesting to know if the tower 
that I believe is at the fire station also houses cellular and/or 
Nextel, which might then be the cause of the problem.  If not, I 
believe that the closest cell sites are at the corner of Georgia and 
Connecticut, Bel Pre and Layhill (on the office building) and at 
Georgia near Bel Pre, each one being maybe a mile in each direction.

10/30/03 on the way to work and overhead some traffic from Wheaton 
Police having radio problems that they were reporting to the radio 
shop.  I believe it was John 1 at Connecticut and Belle Pre Road 
working an overturned  truck.
