[Scan-DC] D.C. Embassy Tours

[Alan Henney]

This was the second Saturday for the D.C. embassy open houses.

The lines rivaled Disney World, but the wait was often worth it.

More embassy staff carried two-way radios than in the past.
Unfortunately many just were not talking while we visited.

I expected to see some high-end gear, at least from the super powers,
but mostly saw old analog Motorola business-style radios.  One guard
at the British Embassy had an old Motorola GP300 or GP350.  Italy had
the Motorola cls1410 (or similar).

Here are a few freqs of interest:

464.5500s [67.0] Embassy of Italy

>From a previous visit to the German Embassy I had frequency counter
hits on these freqs but unable to positively identify:

171.7625
172.5625
468.4125 catering

The Embassy of Canada has two repeater channels:

464.6750r/s [d306]
463.5250r/s [d306]

Does anybody have other embassy frequency finds to share?
