[Scan-DC] upcoming test for Inauguration

[ka3jjz at netscape.com]

>From SkyPager on the RR DC forum;
=================================================
There will be a multi-agency radio test / roll call some time tomorrow. This will be mainly a test of the various cross band patches set up on the ITAC repeaters. Look for activity on VHF, UHF and the 5 ITAC channels.

MPD has parked their mobile command unit at a DC Government building across Constitution AV, from where all of the cellular carriers and the Capitol Police are camped out.

The broadcasters that have not already set up will deploy on Sunday. Watch the itinerant channels and 450 MHz channels. The FCC will have direction finding vehicles in the area Monday-Tuesday.
==================================================
I've been having some issues getting to my email in a timely manner - SSA is cracking down on personal email usage on their networks. So please, in the next few days, echo all relevant traffic (such as what will be heard on the test tomorrow) to the Washington DC forum on RadioReference. There is a sticky thread titled 'DC Inauguration Updates'. Registration on RR (the common abbreviation for RadioReference, not to be confused with Railroads) is free.
