Downtown DC Frequency Update

While at the Taste of DC yesterday, I was able to snag several new downtown business frequencies:
  • Metropolitan Square at 655 15th St. NW is using 462.5000 [ d632].
  • Department of Commerce Headquarters Security confirmed using 452.8750 [ d122] (R).
  • The Willard Intercontinental Hotel is now using 464.8750 [100.0] as a repeater for Security. Previously, the hotel used 464.8750 and 469.8750 as separate simplex channels.
  • The W Hotel has made some changes/additions to its frequencies. 461.3125 [233.6] is no longer used by Security/Engineering; it's now used by Valet/Bellmen. 465.7125 [167.9] is a new frequency used by Banquets. In addition to Housekeeping, Engineering is also on 466.1125 [107.2]. Nothing heard on 469.2625, which was previously in use. 469.3125 [241.8] is still used by the POV Bar hostesses. Nothing monitored on 463.9875, which is a repeater licensed to the hotel. And no indication as to a frequency for Security.
  • 461.1125 [ d032] is probably used by a theater downtown, possibly Ford's.
