btw, at JYO this morning i picked up a flyer on the DC ADIZ procedures. i'm very familiar with them (i thought) until i noticed that it said to monitor guard on 123.0. i have always used 121.5 and asked about the change. i was told that it was likely that 123.0 is now specifically for the DC ADIZ to reduce confusion on listening to 121.5 which i have to agree with. in the recent past i've noticed much more activity on 121.5 and it can be confusing. i'm assuming that 123.0 is only for ADIZ related comms. i'm not sure yet whether or not 123.0 is only for JYO or the other airports in the area but i'm going to find out.
Here's a follow-up on this. I've checked several sources (including the FAA) and all have said that you should still monitor guard on 121.5 (NOT the 123.0 in the flyer, that is apparently a typo).

thanks for the heads up... very useful! btw- i think there's some ADIZ/FAA Q&A tomorrow (Sat) morning at JYO.
