A-PTRL-2 and E-PTRL-4 Radio Chatter

[gillham]

Anyone catch today's radio traffic on A Patrol 2 and E Patrol 4? Sounds like they shut down a bunch of exits and did "sweeps". I missed what kind of sweeps, I thought I heard 'cell', but could be mistaken.
I want to say it was around 2 PM.

Haven't heard this kind of a detail/sweep before.

Call me crazy, but first guess is that maybe an LNG tanker was coming through and they were shutting the Tobin?

They were definitely calling out Exits and "Posts". So definitely plausible. I'll have to dig through my ProScan recordings and see if I got A-PTL-2. I normally don't record E-PTL-1 or 4. I've since turned on 4. See if I can catch it again.

Other traffic is also on SOPS-# and Boston PD, Everett PD, Chelsea PD with cruisers along the Waterfront
