Our class simplex frequency is 146.595 (ch-0), monitor it for EE123 traffic
SMPLX2M (ch-1) is 146.520 MHz, the national 2m simplex calling frequency,
SMPLX446 (ch-2) is 446.000 MHz. You can most always directly reach fellow
hams by transmitting “CQ CQ CQ followed by your callsign” when at
higher elevations on this frequencies, especially 146.520 MHz.
