[Scan-DC] MWAA system transmitters

[Kevin Loch]

MWAA has many licenses on various bands.

WPAY961 is the system he is looking for.  That ULS record
has all three main sites (Dulles, National and Toll Road/Rt. 7).
There is also a backup site at the north end of Dulles under
a separate license WQID396.

The transmit antennas are all fairly low at each site.

I also see WQKR977 for a new 700MHz (actually 802 out) system.
