[Scan-DC] Call letters on 154.16

[Doug Kitchener]

Hmmmm... this is getting interesting... looking in the FCC database, the only WPWB I see for Montgomery is 302, and that comes back to some frequencies in the 821/822 mhz range.

I tried to catch one of the beacons awhile back and thought it ended in a 9 or 0, but my code is worse than lousy!  One day I was fooling around and found a website that would convert text to code and I tried putting in some of the call signs that I posted earlier to see if they sounded familiar, but now I can't remember what the results were!

I gotta work Friday night and it will be dead then... may try to find that site again and fool around with it!

(had a look just now and can't find it...)

2321, WPUW727
