I recently transcribed a recorded rollcall on 168.1125 nbfm (NAC68F) of the New England Federal 25-City Comm Center System. The rollcall was conducted by "FBI Boston Central". The agencies participating in the rollcall are listed below. Each numbered (my numbers) agency is listed as it was pronounced over the air and in the order it was called. Less than half the agencies actually responded to the rollcall. I first posted this list to Al Stern's MilRadioComms Yahoo group where several members assisted with the translation of a few of the alphabet soup agency names. I post the agency list here for those interested in monitoring federal radio communications.

1. "ATF Boston" (Alcohol Tobacco Firearms)
2. "ATF Manchester"
3. "Coast Guard Sector Boston"
4. "Coast Sector Southeast New England" {at Woods Hole, MA}
5. "Customs and Border Protection"
6. "DEA Boston" (Drug Enforcement Agency)
7. "DHS OEC" (Dept. of Homeland Security, Office of Emergency Communications)
8. "DSS Diplomatic Security" (Diplomatic Security Service)
9. "FAMS Boston" (Federal Air Marshal Service)
10. "FEMA MERS" (Fed. Emerg. Mgmt. Agency, Mobile Emergency Response Support)
11. "FEMA RRCC" (Regional Response Coordination Center)
12. "FPS Boston" (Federal Protective Service)
13. "FPS MegaCenter"
14. "HHS Massachusetts" (Dept. of Health and Human Services)
15. "HHS New Hampshire"
16. "HHS Rhode Island"
17. "HSI Boston SAC" (Homeland Security Investigations, Boston, Special Agent-In-Charge)
18. "HSI HIDTA" (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force)
19. "HSI JFK Duty Desk" {at JFK Federal Bldg., Boston, MA}
20. "HSI DBFTF" (Document and Benefit Fraud Task Force)
21. "HSI RAC Manchester" (Resident Agent-In-Charge)
22. "HSI RAC Providence"
23. "ICE ERO Boston" (Immigration & Customs Enforcement, Enforcement and Removal Operations)
24. "Secret Service Boston"
25 "Secret Service Manchester"
26. "Secret Service Providence"
27. "TSA Boston" (Transportation Security Administration)
28. "USAR Massachusetts" (FEMA Urban Search and Rescue, Massachusetts Task Force 1)

When they first started this roll call it was done every Wednesday morning, at 10am, now I think it is just done on the first Wednesday of the month.

I heard the test this morning on 168.1125 around 10am this morning. It took about 15 minutes to complete. I also heard a few transmissions on 409.9875 for about 5 minutes.

Thanks to the OP for this (and everyone else's input). I'm on Cape Cod and I will see what I can hear from my QTH.

You might hear them from the Cape, all depends on your Antenna

However in the words of someone infamous, NFoDC :D

Good Band Opennings should also let you hear the CT FIO and the NY/NJ FIO
All run multiple Freq/Sites linked
