Just heard strong repeater traffic on GMRS channel 19 (NoVa)

VERY strong and clear signal. At first I thought it might be the one in Ellicott City MD, but then the main guy said it was in Gainesville Va/Bull Run.

He also said he has hit it as far south as Fredericksburg.

As I listened more there was even a faint contact from BALTIMORE.

I am in Sterling , Va and was listening on a KG-805G.

I did not see it listed on the map.

Define ch.19? On my radio (GM-30) ch.19 = 462.6500. That is also part of the standard GMRS repeater channel 5 pair (462.650/467.650).  I'm not aware of any NoVa repeaters on that particular pair, but then again, I don't know much! I'd be interested to learn more, though! Were there any CTCSS codes on the channel you were montoring?  When I kerchunk that pair using travel tone, I do get a response.  Been monitoring for a while but no traffic.  Happy New Year!
