Normally most traffic on DCIO1 is encrypted but heard a roll call in the clear starting at 10 am local yesterday with FBI WFO calling U.S. Marshall Service first then D.C. Communications Liaison Officer (Fire Liaison Officer) then roll call switched to DCIO2.. DCIO1 loud and clear at my location 75 miles NW of D.C.

They do that in Boston also, the first Wednesday of the month at 10am on Fed LE 4, 168.1125 $68f , more than half of the agencies queried do not answer. Agencies are told that the roll call is done in the clear, turn off your encryption.
