[Scan-DC] DC Fire trunked radio failure

[Doug Kitchener]

There used to be a big tower in DC somewhere near Georgia Avenue and Missouri Avenue NW, that I believe was their main transmitter site... is it still there, and still the main site?

(I realize that the transmitter doesn't have to be at the antenna, of course, and that the control point isn't there for sure!)

Are both the DC fire and PD "headquarters" in the same place?  Isn't on MLK avenue somewhere in SE?

I was at "fire alahm headquarters" years ago, when it was on McMillan Drive near the reservoir... they still had street boxes then!  Is there anything still there?
