Isn't .52 supposed to be the "National Calling Frequency" anyway?
I always thought that it was supposed to be the way K1DK describes.
'Seems to me that I read that in the ARRL repeater directory or some
such place.  In this area, .52 is regularly used for extended QSOs.
For that reason, I avoid it.
