2015 NYC Marathon

slapshot0017 · Sep 23, 2015

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had the scoop on the radio frequencies used during the marathon. Just PM me if you don't want it to be published publicly.
Thanks

Other than the usual PD, FD, EMS freqs, there are various ham repeaters used. The Marathon staff uses a DMR linked system between the SI start area and the Central Park finish area.

Do you have any specifics?

A radio rental company sets up the system about a week before the race and issues the radios. There is nothing to report on so early in the calendar.

Ok cool. Thank you.

So does anyone have any further information?

Just picked up volunteer Ham radio operations for Marathon on 441.100 Pl 136.5, 447.175 pl141.3, and 440.600 pl 141.3. I am sure there are more, but that's what I picked up so far. Can anyone add to to this list? Especially looking for the Ham frequencies being used. Thanks!

Also 445.575 PL 141.3 and 449.025 PL 123.0

Here's the list I've had for years seems to alwayS be right:
441.1000 LOGISTICS SOUTH PRIMARY
446.6750 LOGISTICS SOUTH BACKUP
444.05 LOGISTICS NORTH PRIMRY
449.0250 DROP-OUT NET

BASICALLY PROGRAM EVERY HAM REPEATER IN MANHATTAN

The frequencies I posted are confirmed as the ONLY ones I heard active this particular year in the 440 range. Of course I may be out of range to have picked up some others. There may be a few 2 meter frequencies used also, but I didn't search that band.

I wasn't really concerned with the amateur stuff, more of the DMR used by the race officials...

n2nov · Nov 3, 2015

DMR rented radios were a mix of low power repeaters at the start and at the finish, some simplex channels and a few channels on some Manhattan repeaters.

Yup, could of used that stuff...

The vendor probably only knew that info, and they are usually reluctant to give that info out.

slapshot0017 · Nov 3, 2015

Yea I figured as much. Doesn't matter now.

n2nov · Nov 4, 2015

I did not even get near the gear or info until Sunday morning.

slapshot0017 · Nov 4, 2015

No worries!
