I really think they are trying to get the dispatch centers to pay attention by doing these test at random times. On the other hand, I think when they were on VHF or UHF the rollcall times were somewhat random also.

In contracts, the MESIN (eastern shore) region tests seem to occur at exactly 1000 and 2200 each and every day.

I think there was similar patch-type activity last week in the City (using the police Citywide channel) when they were getting Baltimore City up and running....

Baltimore City must have the "duty" this week on MA Coord.. the City dispatcher today did the roll call around 1250 and called the entire list of jurisdictions/orgs that were called the first week of January (BCounty, Howard, Carroll, Anne Arundel, Annapolis, MSP Golden Ring, UMAB police, etc.)... She made a valiant attempt and was calling for nearly 5 minutes but not many responses were heard....

I've yet to heard anything except BCity, BCounty, Howard and (I think) Harford in the 3 weeks they been up.

Looks like Harford has the con this week - test this morning at 0350 - only heard responses from Baltimore County, Howard County, and Baltimore City..no response heard from Carroll, Anne Arundel, or Annapolis police (all were called).

Oddly - I did hear a Baltimore City medic unit calling EMRC for a med channel on TGID 11722 (labeled BaltCo Roam on RR)... Saturday 26 @ 2043 very clear -- not sure if someone was playing with patches or what....

...and then this morning around 1037 I hear two more transmissions for Baltimore (City this time) on TGID 11791 (labeled CMARC F-1 on RR).

Howard County just did a roll call on the "CMARC Mutual Aid Channel", TG 11795. Agencies called, Annapolis Police, Anne Arundel, Baltimore City Police, Baltimore County, Caroll County, Hartford County. Only Baltimore City Police answered.

Howard did a MutAid test Friday night around 1730 -- dispatcher reported at the end of the test that he heard no responses from any jurisdiction!

So far the only thing I think I've heard on this talkgroup is comms checks at random times - sometimes several times a day - and then only hearing Howard, BCity, BCounty, and Harford County..... even though others are called most times.

Maybe I missed it but I haven't detected a daily Mutual Aid Coordination talkgroup comms check over the past couple of days... it must have rotated to a jurisdiction that doesn't yet have radios (?)....

I will say my reception over the past few days for CMARC and Maryland FiRST have been less than optimal.

Anyone hard anything on CMARC?

Looks like Anne Arundel finally got a radio for CMARC -- heard them testing this week on Mutual Aid Coord... First noticed the radio ID that maps to AA County (222xxxx) then later in the week the voice indicatd it was AA County testing.

Oddly, also earlier this week Baltimore County was calling Frederick on the Mutual Aid TG -- I don't think Frederick is on the system....

Haven't daily or even weekly tests of the TG for several weeks now....

Apparently the twice a day Mutual Ad TG roll call tests started up again on April 1... still at somewhat random times and still not hearing many responses but there were some other notable "calls" to Frederick County, Amtrak Philadelphia, FBI Baltimore, and MEMA.

They also now end the test each time requesting those able to do so to switch to 8-Call for a test.

I just wrote something in here, promptly woke up, and realized it was incorrect information. Would that I could have a delete button...
