DC Inauguration updates

[pasadenamd]

did anyone hear the medical call to the capitol? Did anyone here what was wrong with the person?

Sen Kennedy collapsed at the Senate Luncheon....

 

[Forts]

Sen Robert Byrd as well apparantly... according to CNN.

 

[listen13579]

News reporting Sen. Ted Kennedy fell ill during the Congressional lunch. Is a particular alternate channel being used for EMS transport?

 

[karldotcom]

I thought I heard them arrest someone at 5th and H, and take a package outside the city. And to use the parade route....I assume that is why the pool feeds went off the route for the past 30 mins.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., battling a brain tumor, became ill at a post-inauguration luncheon for President Barack Obama on Tuesday and was taken by ambulance to a hospital. There was no immediate word from medical personnel on his condition.

"It looked like a seizure," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who said he was with Kennedy until they reached the ambulance.

Kennedy, 76, had appeared in good health and spirits hours earlier when he stepped out of the Capitol and onto the inauguration platform where Obama took the oath of office.

Sen. Robert C. Byrd, 91, also was taken from the luncheon but it was not clear whether his departure was prompted by his health.

 

[freqhopping]

There have been a few BOLOs put out. The first one I heard on the Fairfax system this morning and again a little while ago on the way home from work. Authorities are looking for a dark colored Tahoe with the tag OBAMA1 (New York I think), advised to stop and ID the occupants.

The latest, from the Fairfax system, is for some guy who wants to martyr himself. In an Acura with Massachusetts tag 16WX67.

Sen Kennedy collapsed at the Senate Luncheon....

Did he drink too much or drive a car into the Potomac?

 

[mike_s104]

I have a feeling that the data gathered from monitoring will take a while to process.

I like TrafficLand...

 

[mike_s104]

Mt. Weather (FEMA) seems to be using their Taxi freq a lot today. I think they are running some van or buses towards to the DC area. Not sure who their transporting.

Does anyone know what Customs is talking about on this recording

From John Coker...

If you can trunk P25 380, try the Ft Myer trunked system. Lots of activity.

I'm amazed at the number of medical emergencies. Sounds like a lot people who shouldn't be down there.

At one point I thought I heard them say on an NPS channel no more people allowed on the Mall, unless have a ticket (9:50am), but haven't heard anything further, so maybe I misheard.

Also, Metro advised a woman struck by a train at Gallery Place/Chinatown. That is about 10-15 minutes old now.

Interesting traffic about an hour ago. Bldg Maint or Security on 406.425 were told i no uncertain terms to 'do not attempt to access the roof' due to the FBI being up there. This was after the swearing in, during the lunch in the Capitol. Anybody know what building I was hearing? And, why would they be on the roof?

But, here's some of the freqs from today. I won't attempt to identify many of them, in the interest of getting them out before the parade is over.

Is there a feed that will remain up for a longer period of time?

I want to thank those that had feeds available. What a great way to take a unique view of history.

Thanks for your help SkyPager.

I did miss the "Enter" but that does not seem to help as WIN500 still does not want to reginze it and still looks at it as a .txt file. In fact the disription still saus "Text File". Maybe if you where to send it as a CVS file then the import might work.

Thanks again.

I want to thank those that had feeds available. What a great way to take a unique view of history.

If this was directed to me...you're very welcome. I was glad I was able to receive anything being that I'm almost 100 miles away. I set the max connections to 20 for my ProScan stream and they were all used up very early. If I would have known, I would have made it around 40 or more. I didn't increase the max because I would have needed to disconnect all that were connected.

I one point I did a WHOIS on all the IPs to see who was listening. I really didn't care, just curious. I had people from all over; really interesting.

 

[drivinflyin]

(The guys in here with specifics--my hat is off to you---you reminded me of many things that I didn't write below---crowd surges--EMS calls, missing persons, exhausted and cold people, arrests and so many others, motorcade coms and HELO one com when Bush flew away)


I finally got back from DC! Wheeew, what a crazy and fun trip it was. I drove down from Toledo, OH at 8pm Monday night and got to the Gaithersburg Metro station by 3:30am Tuesday. I got my first Fed freq (immigration) about 75 miles from DC and they began to get more frequent the closer I got to DC.

Everything went smoothly into DC, but it got a bit confusing. I ended up standing for 4 hours in a line to get through the metal detectors. This was cold and tedious, but a great time to listen to the scanner.

I don't have a Pro-106 yet, but I wish I had. I mostly used my Pro-96, but also used my Pro-95 as well. I heard so many comms, it's hard to go back a remember it all. Most of the primary SS freqs--Able, Baker, Charlie, Oscar, Sierra, Tango, November and Whiskey were busy, but 98% encrypted. There were plenty of open air coms on other SS freqs, mostly of generic nature relating to door and window closures and other generalized tactical coms.

I heard open air stuff from ICE, WHCA, SS, UDSS, FBI, Imigration, FCC, BATF, DEA, US Marshalls, Natl Parks and of course the MPD, DCFD. Many of the other fed freqs could have been used tactically by other agents. The media 450-455's were all filled with action. The best one was the ABC producer manically calling out what live action cameras to actually be seen during the inauguration. FRS were on overload, WMATA was busy. I never heard anything from the DOD trunked system, CIA, Pentagon.

Once past the metal detectors, I finally saw the parade route lined with police from everywhere across the US and all US military branches. The security was soooo tight. They locked the perimeter around the mall down and made little inner mazes to keep it very confusing and difficult to come and go. I ultimately went to the mall, where if I had done my homework first, I would have NOT had to spend 4 hours waiting to go through the security. It was still worth it and I got to see the parade route early, but I didn't want to wait from 9:30 am to 2:30 for the parade, so I wandered around the mall which was PACKED with people. There were plenty of loud speakers and large monitors to watch all the inauguration activities take place.

The overall vibe of the whole event was good. I ended up staying awake for 36 hours! The scanning was awesome. I did let a few people listen in just to hear what it sounded like. It would have been nice to have a fellow scanner geek come along to team up. We'll have to see what happens for the next innuaguration. Let's hope OpenSky and ProVoice have a scanner by then!

I wish I would have brought my digital recorder to record a bunch of it. The entire experience was very surreal and intense and the largest group of people I have ever been with. I can't wait to do it again!

Take care,
Scott

Any word on who was using 409.000? This was a mystery freq that popped up right before WTO here in Seattle.
