[Scan-DC] Tuesday's Inaugural Findings

[Alan Henney]

The National Capital Region's radio cache from Fairfax County has been
provided to the District.  Does anybody know how these radios are
configured?  I assume the standard 800 MHz line-up for either police
or fire?

MPD was busy much of the afternoon on the Special-Events-1 talkgroup
driving visiting police officers from the airports to hotels.  The
enormous number of officers coming to Washington was unlike any event
I've heard.  They came from all over the country.

I called D.C. police public info office and was told they have a list
of the participating departments but were not going to share it with
the public for undisclosed reasons.

While MPD was busy busing officers into town, U.S. Park Police became
involved in the van standoff.  The notification/response from Park
Police to MPD SOD seemed to be somewhat slow.

In the early hours, on marine ch.69, 156.475, sounded like military
personnel chatting on the radio, although not professionally.  They
were playing around.  Coast Guard Station Washington has been active
on channel 23-A, 157.15.  But I still suspect the station has a
non-marine channel it uses as well (any clues)?
