Hey hams, how many of us actually monitor 146.520? And how often?
I always do in my car or while doing remote ops. Another way to put that is that I only do in my car or while doing remote ops.
@W6KME
Whenever my home VHF/UHF radio is on, one receiver is on 146.52. -

@W6KME Always listening in the car here. Don't have a good setup at home to listen though.

@W6KME I monitor 146.58 when I'm out driving and sometimes at home. That's our local central Oregon simplex frequency and the PNW SOTA frequency. Not much traffic weekdays though.
@tsherrygeo 580 is common for SOTA down here too. Once I'm outside my local repeater zone, I have 520 on one channel, 580 on the other in the car.
I've been calling while travelling lately on 520, and have yet to ever get a comeback. I do occasionally get some madman waving wildly at me from another car who turns out to be a ham though.

@W6KME I used to monitor a lot, especially to catch SOTA oos, but haven't lately. I really should do that again.

@W6KME I often keep a radio tuned there but it’s just a cheap HT sitting on my desk so I can’t be sure if the frequency is actually dead or if my radio just doesn’t pick up the signals

We all probably complain when we don't get comebacks on any band, but I wonder if we are also doing enough to respond ourselves when others are looking for a contact. I'm not sure I'm doing enough, certainly.
