I thought about installing my 2m radio in my car so that I have something to
occupy part of my cross-country drive next year (I hope), but maybe it's not
worth it. If I knew there were folks along the way regularly monitoring .52,
I'd do it.

Fugetaboutit!

K0CKB and I travel many thousands of miles a year in a coach with "K0HB & K0CKB
monitoring 146.52" prominently displayed on the back.

We also frequently announce our presence on .52. In the past 5 years we've had
precisely 2 QSO's on .52 as a result.

Don't bother.

Thanks, Hans. That'll save me from making a bunch of unnecessary holes in my
nice car.... and the price of a fancy new repeater directory. *sigh* I'll
wait until I get to 1-land and get to know my new neighbors.

The last time I tried to have a QSO on .52 the other guy didn't have a
radio in his car. Hard to communicate that way.

Hans, reminds me of a story about a person I knew complaining
that he called several times and I didn't answer (the cell
phone.) I just looked at him and said, "I know. That's why I
have caller ID."

Do I need to put a smiley face here so every ones I'm just
teasing Hans a teensie bit?
