That is exactly what I am trying to check it out for is for WX stations, water
gages and other remote sensing gear that we are running on 144.39MHz.

I am seeing a lot of this being moved to 144.99 in order to get it off of .39
and not have all of the devices contending for the same resource.

If we there is no wormhole users on the channel I will coordinate it for
APRS activity in this area so we can start moving such devices over there.
