The Associated Press reported, on 7/1, that Washington, DC, would
be testing their emergency evacuation plan by using the city's Highway
Advisory Radio (HAR).
After the fireworks on the Mall ended, both drivers and
pedestrians were to be directed to the evacuation routes through the use of
the city's HAR operating on 1650 kHz. {The station is WQAJ522 and there are
six (6) transmitters licensed for operation on 1650 kHz. mh}
The test was to have lasted about 45 minutes.
A fine plan....if pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, etc
happened to have an AM radio handy. Just a thought, DC.
Mike
