Raleigh County Airport Mock Drill

[wvscanner]

Airport to host mock plane crash this week » Today's Front Page » The Register-Herald, Beckley, West Virginia

Says it will be a full scale Wednesday at 9am. Paper said they wanted to get the word out so people that will hear it on the scanner would know it was not real.

Pity I will be at work Wednesday,if it were held the day before that,I might try to listen for stuff(maybe some IRP?). If you are going to be listening in,let us know what frequencies they be using

The paper said the FAA is doing it. I'm not sure what freq. or even if they would use FAA emergency channels on a mock. I'm schedule for work but I think I kinda going to miss work that day. I'm going have to setup unitrunker back up and move my feed to a more reliable computer. I think on the feed anything on that has 51xx will go thru on the feed. I will have to play it by ear for the other talk group. I only hear one other drill before, I remember it was very heavy on traffic on the first hour, 2nd hour was a lot and then slow down to minor chat on the 3rd hour.
