[SEDXC] 2 meter simplex frequencies

[David L. Thompson]

Mike K4PI's recent inquiry about simplex frequencies has not resolved the DX
rag chew frequency.   This months ARRL SM's report has this regarding
simplex.  Seems SERA is still in the business of managing the band (Isn't
that like letting the Fox guard the hen house??).

>From the Georgia SM newsletter---------------------------------------------

PAUL MANNO, KG4UVU, had a question about simplex operations. He didn't
want to tie up a repeater with a QSO and wondered if there were
preferred 2M FM simplex frequencies in the Atlanta area. I referred him
to SERA, (Southeastern Repeater Association) where he found all of the
information he was looking for, as they list these recommended
frequencies, in addition to repeater information. Just in case there are
others of you who may have wondered about those frequencies, they are as
follows: 146.400, 146.415, 146.430, 146.445, 146.460, 146.475, 146.490,
146.505, 146.520, 145.535, 146.550, 146.565, 146.580, 146.595, 147.405,
147.420, 147.435, 147.450, 147.465, 147.480, 147.495, 147.510, 147.525,
147.540, 147.555, 147.570 and 147.585.

I see 147.495 is on the list.  Why don't we all put our bricks on this
frequency for long rag chews!
Maybe we can chat with someone in Kentucky (ask me about what happened while
our dispute with the uncordinated repeater in Dallas, GA a few years ago).
147.525 looks like a good choice
if 147.540 is busy with digital simplex.

Still hoping Melvin will come back.  Why not have a voice recorder read
