Now that we know folks are monitoring, I'll stir the pot
a little...  what's with the remote-bases that keep popping
up on 146.52?  Do these folks not realize that when they 
transmit from Frazier, or Oat, or Lukens, or Santiago, or...
they effectively prevent low-level users throughout their
coverage area from using the national calling freq?  Do they
not realize there is a simplex frequency set aside on 2m 
specifically for remote-bases to keep them from jamming .52
over such a wide radius (Last time I was in Yosemite, I could
hear one of the near-Frazier sites with little/no problem on
my HT!) ?  

Does SCRRBA make any effort at all to educate R/RB owners when
coordination is granted?
