[Scan-DC] ZDC Frequencies

[Andrew Clegg]

Thanks Steve!

Because I did not know what ZDC stands for, I Googled it, and came across 
the Washington ARTCC web site, which has a whole lot of cool information, 
including routes, charts, training manuals, and other things (many of which 
have lots of frequencies included). There's even a home page picture of a 
Piedmont jet preparing for take-off at DCA! (I suspect many of this list's 
subscribers have no idea who Piedmont is, but I digress.)

You can also download scenery files and other files for simulation of flight 
in local areas, although I don't yet know what program they pertain to (MS 
Flight Simulator??).

Anyway, ZDC is the designator for the Washington DC Air Route Traffic 
Control Center, and the web site is http://www.zdcartcc.org/.

Very cool site.

Andy
