  If you look closely thru the ARRL Repeater Book, you'll find a few listings
that show an output on 52.525. (sigh) We even had a local (EM27) operator
set up a UHF <> 52.525 "link", he turned it on when we had a local 52.525
net (usually every Thursday night, in case anyone's interested, the net's still there)
but apparently someone (NOT ME!!) complained to the FCC, he got a letter
from Riley and he took it down. This all happened last year, and it was a fairly
good idea, local ops on UHF h/t's could get in on the weekly net, but apparently
some folks thought it was not such a good idea.

  So yeah, it's still done out there. Shame on the repeater coordinators that let
something like that slide by.
