Philiadelphia Marathon

[jaymatt1978]

A few weeks from now my brother is running his 1st Philadelphia Marathon, my folks and I are going to cheer him on. I have the Philly trunked systems
programmed into my 396T (which works great BTW) and some conventional stuff.
However I was wondering if there was anything "marathon specific" I should
program in?? I have a Pennslyvania "conventional" system setup. Do hams provide
communications like they do in NYC and Boston??

Thanks for the assistance

i guess id pay more attn to the Special Event TGs listed in the RRDB,

Also M Band for citywide coordination ,maybe T Band for traffic control/Tom Units..
J Band for alot of X Over and general citywide flash for priorities..

not sure how district to district will be,If at all,effected,,they may just use the
event TGs...

Also check local SMRs. For example the bike race used talkgroup 08-059 on the Homan Center City LTR trunked system. (freqs home 06 is 506.3375 and home 08 is 508.4125). Check all Homan, Sunshine, and Mobile communications systems.
