Default Simplex calling frequencies

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.

At every population center we announced "K0HB (or K0CKB) monitoring Five Two",
often more than once.. On only one occasion (thanks WK5C) did we receive a
reply.

Is .52 broken?

73, de Hans, K0HB
