[OKDXA] OKDXA Simplex Frequency

[D C _Mac_ Macdonald]

I think 147.54 would be a good choice for an
OKDXA calling/working frequency.  It is a part
of both 15/30 kHz and 20 kHz 2 meter spacing
recommended standards.

When (if?) I get my antenna system finished I
will have horizontal and vertical 10 element 2m
Yagis at about 52 feet and a 2m/70cm vertical
at about 30 feet.  I will also have a 5 element
6m Yagi (horizontal) at about 45 feet.

There aren't many of us and my 2 m antennas consist of a corner reflector at about 52 ft and a discone (1/4 wave equivalent) at about 56 ft. It ain't great, but I'll leave my 2m rig tuned there on the discone and listen for any calls. The local repeater has become a bit... boring.
