[Scan-DC] 171.4375 P25 CC Northern Virginia

[Andrew Clegg]

On a related note, I was able to get a tour of that new Fairfax facility 
(the McConnell Center), and saw some cool stuff (VDOT, Fairfax County, and 
VSP). If anyone's interested I can post a few of the pictures I took. It 
houses Fairfax emergency operations center, VDOT traffic control facilities, 
and the Fairfax County & Virginia State Police (Arlington/Fairfax division) 
911 call  and dispatch centers.

While I was on the tour, I left my car parked under their big radio tower 
out back, with my 996T on Close Call Auto Store. I did not capture 171.4375, 
so Jeff is right, the signal does not originate from there.

Cheers,
Andy
