Events This Weekend

Here are two events this weekend that will probably provide some monitoring:
  • The National Cathedral holds their annual Cathedral Flower Mart Friday and Saturday. (It's apparently much more than just flowers--it's kind of a festival, with many activities.) Anyway, here are some frequencies for the Cathedral:
      • 462.0250 [d445] Operations (Engineering?--may not be used by Cathedral)
      • 463.2250 [107.2] Security
      • 463.9500 [d131] (Housekeeping?--may not be used by Cathedral)
      • 467.7125 [233.6] Tour Guides
  • On Sunday, the U.S. Air Force Cycling Classic winds its way through Arlington. Arlington's analog (and maybe P25) trunked system should be quite active. Try analog talkgroup 33840, which is the Motors channel. Crystal City security uses 451.7750 [ d205].
The Nats finish up their current homestand this weekend against the Pirates. There are several big events outside the DC Metro area. In Spotsylvania, there is a Battle of Chancellorsville reenactment on Saturday and Sunday. In The Plains (VA) on Saturday, there is the Virginia Gold Cup. And in Richmond on Saturday, there is a NASCAR race.
