[Scan-DC] Dominion Virginia Power

[Lee Williams]

That's more then I have heard in the last two years. I have all the old 
frequencies in the scanner but for Fairfax and Loudoun Counties absolutely 
nothing heard via radio!

I recorded the Alexandria-Arlington frequency (451.525) last night (I'm in
Arlington). What I captured was only one legitimate transmission, with a
unit reporting that "642R30 was clear of tree limbs and was OK to go hot."
There was a periodic Morse code ID of KLC836, which is registered in the ULS
database to VEPCO with a Seminary Road (Alexandria) transmitter site. There
was also a weaker signal on the same frequency that occasionally ID'd as
KJE520, which also comes back to VEPCO, in Haynesville VA (?), but not
licensed for that frequency. My receiver does not have tone capability, so I
don't know if the two signals were using different squelch tones.

Given the storms last night, I would have expected more activity, but it
seems that VEPCO (Dominion) is still using the frequency in
Alexandria/Arlington, at least a little bit. I'll keep recording over the
next couple of days to see what I get.

Happy 4th to all.

Andy
