What is the protocol for using 146.52 MHz (the national 2M
simplex calling frequency)?  Here's what I know for sure --
once you've established contact, QSY up/dpown so that you
don't tie up the frequency for anybody else. I guess my
question concerns how to establish contact. Do you simply
call CQ?  Is there a particular exchange to ise, such as
"This is N5WBI traveling south on Interstate 45 at mile
marker 22" or something to that effect?

Thanks es 73,
