[Scan-DC] ZDC Frequencies

Wed Mar 25 22:45:40 EDT 2009

I doubt it! How about Mohawk? Or even Eastern?

I received several warnings from folks about the web site I mentioned, along 
the lines of what Steve said. So caveat emptor! For me, as a non-pilot, I 
still find some of the info on the site to be very interesting, but it is 
apparently not supposed to be used for genuine aviation purposes. But I 
guess that's true of a lot of sites, like airnav.com, that are still quite 
interesting and useful to the radio hobbyist.

Cheers,
Andy
