[Scan-DC] Scanners in background of WTOP trafic reports?

[Ed Tobias]

The short answer, for WTOP, is "everything."

Bob Marbourg designed a set-up which is a scanner-nut's dream. There about half a dozen scanners, which were rack-mounted in the traffic studio by Asst. Chief Eng. Art Rose. Art's ham call is W3TOP. There are also displays of traffic cams and text alerts. 

I speak to Bob every so often and I'll try to remember to ask him about his specific setup.
