Is there anyone who is able to obtain the ICS Form205 for the 2025 Boston Marathon?
In a thread created in 2017, I noticed that years ics205 was posted, and wondered if someone could post this years.
I have looked but am not able to find it.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Generally Nothing has changed in the past 8 yrs across Public Safety or Amateur Radio support.


MSP/ComIRS = patches to BAPERN, SOPS/Events
V/U/8 - TACS as back-ups to Trunk

A bit late, but the amateur radio ics205 is here: Ham Radio Boston - Docs & Videos (in google drive links that don't have any authorization restrictions).

Can you send a link to the previous year thread with the ics205? Was it for public safety/ops/etc? Or was it limited to the Amateur radio info (which is more widely available)?

Probably this one? Which doesn't actually list a whole ICS-205 in the entire thread, public safety or ham.

The public safety ICS-205 would probably be classified as public safety sensitive and therefore hard to get hands on. But as others have pointed out, it's all interop frequencies, so stuff you would find in the NIFOG and since it's Mass, probably the MIFOG (which is also sensitive and is no longer available on Mass.gov and access to it now has to be requested). The only exception to interop would be the ALL-COMM/DC Rentals trunk, since that's event specific for the Marathon.

But yeah, really the only ICS-205 you can easily find is the ham radio one.
