Weekend Events

Here are two events this weekend:

The Komen Global Race for the Cure is Saturday on the National Mall. This event usually attracts 50,000+ runners and walkers. In 2006 and 2007 (no data for 2008), organizers used VHF rental radios. Park Police will probably use 166.7250 [127.3]. MPD will probably use either talkgroup 16656 or 21232. DCFD will probably use one of the Special Event talkgroups (2096, 2112, 2128).

Celebrate Fairfax runs Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday. Organizers may use the analog coordination talkgroups on the Fairfax County Services trunked system. (The coordination talkgroups have been in use for other recent events in Fairfax County.) In previous years, organizers used UHF rental radios. County police/fire will probably use a few talkgroups on the Fairfax County Public Safety trunked system. (Last year, police used digital Coordination 2 and fire used digital Coordination 3.)
