Weekend Events

It's a busy holiday weekend:
  • The Nationals play the Mets tonight, tomorrow afternoon, and Sunday afternoon.
  • The Smithsonian Folklife Festival continues through Monday. When I was there last Saturday, I only found two frequencies (461.7375 [d546] and 463.8625 [d503]), but there are probably more in use.
  • The fireworks on the National Mall begin at 9:15 Sunday night. Good things to monitor: Park Police (especially 166.7250 [127.3] and 166.8500 [127.3]), Capitol Police, National Park Service (169.7750, 170.5125, 172.4750, and 172.7500--all Project 25 digital), Red Cross (try 462.375 [88.5]), the DC trunked system (DCFD Special Events, EMA, and MPD SOD/Harbor talkgroups), the Arlington trunked system (try the Coordination talkgroups), and the Metro trunked system. Of course, many of these agencies will be active throughout the day. Also search the UHF business frequencies for organizers working on the Capitol Fourth concert, etc.
