That makes sense. Thanks Gary.

Talkgroup 1195 has had activity today that sounded Boston Calling related. I'm listening to it on the 700MHz trunk. Not sure if this is Harvard PD or what agency it is?

Yesterday SOPS-2 was patched to something for Boston Calling. It may have been a Cambridge or Harvard resource. I also don't appear to be hearing the DC Rentals portable trunk here at my apartment in Newton this year. I usually get it well here but perhaps it's not up on that hill there this year.

KC1HO Steve The world famous HO! Stephen Johnson the original keeper of the COMIRS list before it was called COMIRS.

AJ1L told me that yesterday and I got really excited!

I heard no radio activity for this event. Very small now.

Today is the Walk For Hunger. This is the first year this event has returned to a physical event since 2019 after being just virtual for the last 3 years due to Corvid. They also have shortened the route from the 20 miles that used to bring it out through Newton and back to the Common to a 3 mile la...

The GEMOTO 900MHz Repeater is also on site covering the fairgounds.

I will be driving down. Always fun!

I see that the City of Boston now has this Freq. on several of their Police licenses. Looks like several of the same sites the 800 Trunk are at.

You get better management of the bandwidth till you hit the limit but once your 9, 10 ,11, 20 voice channels are full the next user is getting a ...

DC Rentals/All Comm Trunk very active this morning.

450.825 DMR Slot1 Color11 TG1700 probably related to the TV Pool for the Marathon.

Events 4 is also Active. Disregard this is brush fire activity.

220 also active.

215 on the DC Rentals/All Comm trunk very active in BackBay this morning with Medical Traffic. I think the 10K might be going on.

I'm hearing analog activity this morning on 444.700R 88.5 that sounds like its some Hams setting up.

Thanks Dave!

Someone locked the thread we have been using the last bunch of years so we have to start a new one but as has been pointed out before nothing has really changed drastically for an event that has been run for years. So if you scroll back through the other thread you will find most of the places you s...
