Potomac is in Warrenton VA which is south of Manassas off route 29...close to Culpeper(CJR) and W66(warrenton). Its a massive radar room with controllers for BWI, DCA, IAD, RIC, CHO and all the smaller airports in the mix. Broken up into sectors(chesapeake-bwi, Shenandoah-IAD, Mount Vernon-DCA, and James River-CHO and RIC) I used to think it was weird to take off out of RIC and contact Potomac departure/approach and only have 3 freq changes to get up to Leesburg(nw of IAD). The appr guys used to be downstairs in the tower, below the Cab, but I think this system works a little better.
