When Brady worked at PGFD Communications he had several ways to jump Branchville. In the 70's and 80's - PGFD dispatchers would simulcast over the mutual aid frequency for whichever counties to "stand-by" to copy. When 11 was due (41 or 34 box) he would transmit "Prince Goegre's Fire to Montgomery County Fire - stand by to copy." "Fire" being the key word to Branchville to get on the engine.

I once dispatched a call at 3 am, "at the McDonald's..." and the address, before I remembered to say "A Medic Local"<BR/><BR/>Ya know that generated some phone calls

Yeah and every time a dispatcher said "Prince Georges Co To Montgomery Co, Copy" all of us at 34 would run to the rigs because we knew we were going. 10,41 said that they would to but it would either be a 34 or 44 box. Another way for the border stations to get ajump was the other County's radios. We at 34 could pick off Co 2,12,16 tones.

Yes, but they ran box alarms out of the first due.
