Weekend Events

A couple of major events:

• The National Race for the Cure is Saturday at 8:00 AM. Events are centered on the National Mall between 3rd and 7th Sts. In 2009 (last year I attended), organizers used 16-channel UHF radios. Most of the frequencies were in the 461 and 462 MHz range. Also look for Park Police on 166.7250 [127.3], DCFD on one or more of their Special Events talkgroups, and MPD on talkgroup 16656 or 21232.
• Kenny Chesney performs at FedEx Field on Saturday beginning at 4:30. The Prince George's Project 25 TDMA system should see heavy use, particularly the FedEx Field and Special Events talkgroups. Also look for FedEx Field's UHF repeater frequencies to be busy; see my Prince George's page for these.
