The Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) controls approaches and departures in the airspace surrounding BWI, Andrews, Dulles, Reagan, Richmond and Martin State Airports
Here is the Official FAA website with VHF frequencies and graphics depicting sectors within the airspace controlled by the Potomac Consolidated TRACON (PCT).
Here is an unofficial website with details about the TRACON, including airspace levels and classes
All frequencies are in the AM mode. These are often used in parallel with one or more civil VHF aircraft frequencies, particularly during peak travel periods.
Flights leaving Martin State sometimes use Baltimore Washington International's frequencies
Flights leaving Andrews often check in on Reagan National's frequencies
