Maryland State Fair

The Maryland State Fair runs today through September 7 (Labor Day). I don't have notes from a previous year, but I do remember the radio usage by the fair organizers was fairly minimal for an event this big. I think they were using a VHF business channel in simplex mode. The Baltimore County Public Safety trunked system and the Baltimore County Services trunked system will probably have some active talkgroups.
