OK for what it's worth, I attempt to make contact on FM during ever
contest. In addition to setting up a second radio to monitor 146.55 and
147.54, I also call CQ ever once and a while.
At best I get two to three additional contacts via FM. Unlike W4KXY,
I've netted a few on 446.00 FM. Seems that a few people monitor the
calling frequency out here. Can't catch people monitoring 146.52 but do
pick up a few on 446.00.

PS: will be monitoring 146.55 and 147.54 during FD.
