"Broadway" probably references Broadway Services, a holding company owned by Johns Hopkins. They do security services, among other ventures.

Hope not as their license WPVA686 to operate on that frequency (and others) expired last year and was cancelled.

Heard what sounded like an hourly(?) check in, one of the stations mentioned 801 North Wolfe (a block away from the main KK building). I'm also receiving on the same frequency what sounds like industrial maintenance/operations traffic, closest corresponding listing would be W.R. Grace. Guess I'll have to find and load the PL decoder plugin....

451.8875 - CC5 - Security/Conservatory/Mentioned "Lobby Bar" (College Park? National Harbor?)

461.400 - CC1 - Sounds like trash pickup/Mentioned Silver Spring locations

463.4625 - CC8 - Possibly University Towers (Montgomery Co)

464.225 - CC4 - Alamo Drafthouse/We The Pizza (Capitol Hill DC?)

 

[ThePhotoGuy]

461.9875 - CC1 - Command center to Tysons, Gaithersburg, Lutherville, White Marsh
"Maryland sites make sure your flags are back at full staff"

I believe this is Kaiser Permanente, they mention many hospitals in the Kaiser Permanente network. North Arundel, Kensington, South Baltimore, Caton Hill, Bowie, and many others.

454.200 - 141.3 - Talking about running cables, cleaning pipes, and setting up road closed signs

461.900 - D251 - Talking about substations, possibly WSSC?

173.000 - N293 - Sounds like security, very active, mentioned the Capitol

173.000 - N293 - Sounds like security, very active, mentioned the Capitol

IIRC from posts long dead (could be totally wrong memory, but still), 173.0 was given to Energy by IRAC. The only listed use nationwide on here is a DOE facility, which supports that possibility. DOE security for the Forrestal Building? Despite the prevalence of FPS in the region and the cramped spectrum in DC, everyone does like Having Their Own Guys, and FPS is notably security-conscious and rarely caught in the clear here. Spitballed hypothesis.

452.15 DCS371 - Comes in faint. Potentially Brooklyn Park Middle?

I'd bet that one's correct since several of the AA County schools use DCS371.

464.65 Color 3 - Facilities Maintenance/Engineering. Confirmed as University Maryland Saint Joseph

I'd bet that one's correct since several of the AA County schools use DCS371.

Got a better reception and confirmed it as Brooklyn Park Middle.

That would be great, but North Arundel doesn’t exist anymore it’s now BWMC and is owned by University of Maryland now. Bowie is also a University owned free standing ER. Harbor Hospital in South Baltimore is owned by Med Star.

North Arundel, South Baltimore and Bowie are names for new-ish Kaiser facilities, not Harbor Hospital, BWMC or UM Bowie. Totally separate facilities

The user stated “they name many hospitals in the Kaiser Permanente Network” so I was advising him that those hospitals were not owned by Kaiser, he said nothing about facilities if he had I wouldn’t have said anything. Please read his post again.

 

[maus92]

Not pedantic enough to worry about such things. He clearly meant Kaiser facilities.

Been monitoring what sounds like City of Laurel (WPNP853) on the following freqs.

453.1468/453.1500/453.1531

TG 11 - Public Works (Mentioned Road Signs on Main St & Montgomery St, Picking up recycling on Montrose Rd and on White Way)
TG 14 - Parks and Recreation (Mulching Riverfront Park)

They're listed in the DB ias NXDN freqs but unless my scanner's broken, I'm hearing them on Color Code 7. They are also licensed these freqs but haven't heard anything.

453.3718/453.3750/453.3781/453.4375

496.0625 - CC7 - TG101 - Possibly Smith's Bus Service (WIL582) (Mentioned dropping off students at Meade High School)
