I'm interested in what people are hearing locally and that would include MD too.

On the Loudoun system 6G Tac 51 seems to have a patch from somewhere that is being used by EMS crews. At the end of the day they report how many contacts, treatments, transports, etc they had. They haven't just been events in Loudoun I've heard mentioned. I just heard a crew at the motocross event at Budds Creek MD check in.

6D Tac 42 and 6F Command 50 are also being used.

On the Fairfax Co services TRS there was some activity related to the games on Coord A4 (24368).

Fairfax is using INC 63 for Medical and INC 67 seems to be an admin or support TG. I don't know if they have linked these TG's to another system or not. Haven't heard anything else yet.

On Sunday, I heard Special Events 1-6 and Coordination A1-A6 active on the Fairfax P16 system. Seemed to be mostly buses.

Talkgroups 1175 and 1179 were noted in use on the P25 system.

This answers the question I was about to post, because I have heard activity across a whole bunch of talkgroups on the Fairfax system in the 43 block, including 43E, 43G, 43H, 43i, Coordination D2, and Coordination D4. Those were the ones I noted briefly while driving into the area and it sounded like special event traffic, so that must be the games.

Sites noted were Lake Fairfax Park and George Mason University.

Thanks.

Yep, they've been at those spots for different events. It's a pretty cool event, actually.

I cannot recollect where each event was hosted, but GMU has a sizeable arena known as the Patriot Center, and Lake Fairfax Park has a ton of land area plus a nice outdoor aquatics facility (Water park, plus a lake with swimming, fishing, and boating). They've been using Reston Town Center as their Village, which is in District Five (All units based there are denoted within the five hundred range).

I was monitoring the traffic on the Prince William Co. P25 TRS. Most of the Fire/Rescue traffic was on talkgroups 51E, 51F, 51H, 51I, 51J, 51K. Didn't hear much PD traffic but I wasn't listening for long either.

Seems like most of the events were in Fairfax County but there were a few further out. The events in Prince William County were nearby in the Prince William Forest Park; just a couple miles from my house. The Cycling events were held here and one of the Brazilian Police Inspectors lost his life on July 2.

Today there will be a Police escort from Alexandria to Dulles Airport for Mr. Carlos Silva and his family for his final flight back to Brazil.

Thanks for the update on that situation. It was sad to hear about Inspector Silva losing his life. His profession is certainly dangerous enough as is, then to pass away from a cycling accident, it's a true shame. My respects to him, and condolences to his family.
