[Scan-DC] Montgomery Fire back online

[Doug K.]

Been there for a week or ten days... it now uses WinDoze Media Player 
instead of Real.  I wondered what was going on... for the past couple of 
months, maybe more, the old links were not working more often than they 
were... I have a buddy who is a retired MCFD firefighter; he tried to find 
out what was happening but wasn't successful.  Some time ago (before they 
redid the radios, but after they went to 800 MHz), there was an internet 
link to the 7-Golf talkgroup but it didn't last long.  The story we heard on 
that was something about server issues...

******************

That same friend was digging around in the FCC database one night and 
discovered that the KGC-334 callsign has been cancelled (RIP)!  The end of 
an era... that had been in use since I started scanning (make that 
"monitoring"!) in the late 1960s and "Headquarters" (or "Fire Board") was in 
the bomb shelter in the basement of what was then called The County Building 
in Rockville.  The new call that they use on the Mutual Aide channels is 
WZX-459.  (My Morse isn't good enough to decode the beacons!).

Squad 51, KMG-365, time out 1125.
