wrote: K0CKB and I just returned from an 8-week RV vacation. During the 8,500 mile trip we continuously monitored 146.52, and had our calls and the statement "Monitoring 146.52" prominently visible on the rear of our coach. Most of our travel was on busy Interstate highways, and in/near populous areas including Minneapolis, DesMoines, Kansas City, Topeka, Wichita, OKC, DFW, Waco, Austin, San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Brownsville, ElPaso, Las Cruces, Globe, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tucson, Las Vegas, and points between. Not once were we called on 146.52. FWIW I'm a new ham and called on 146.52 frequently when out of repeater range on a recent trip from Edmonton to Vancouver and Seattle. I chatted with one ham in the Jasper National Park on the Yellowhead highway and we met in person at the Mount Robson viewpoint. I also chatted with another ham at a small town, Golden, BC, which didn't have any repeater. I almost would've like to have a tape recorder spitting out my call sign every 10 minutes. smile Tony |
