  • Flights leaving Martin State sometimes use Baltimore Washington International's frequencies
  • Flights leaving Andrews often check in on Reagan National's frequencies
  • Frequencies can be found here as part of the BWI information
  • The Tracon frequencies for Reagan National can be found here
  • The Tracon frequencies for Dulles can be found here
