I have to agree with Chuck here, 146.520 is a calling
frequency.  Call someone, and then move to another
frequency.  In the Murray area, everyone has either
locked .52 out of scan, or not even have it
programmed.  Why?  within about 50 miles or so, there
is a group of hams ragchewing on .52 night and day
with plenty of power. What if someone is traveling
trough our area, and wants (or maybe, needs) to talk
but is unfamiliar with the local repeaters? They would
give a shout on 146.52.  But, unfortunatly, no one
will hear him. 

Just my .02 cents worth.
