While travelling on the road I use the 146.520 MHz (National Simplex Freq)
for contacts and chats.
At the base in San Diego, 146.520 MHz is used as a calling frequency,
then switch to another simplex channel such as 147.555 known as triple
nickles. Another commonly used simplex is 146.550.
All are loaded in my mobile rig and HT's.


around here it's 145.500 - S20 is the calling freq (mobile or otherwise)
