I thought 146.520 was the calling frequency and that  once you made contact 
with your party the gentleman's agreement was that you  move to an alternate 
simplex frequency to continue your QSO.  If I remember  correctly, the PPRAA net 
used to be on 146.580.  Is there another net which  might be using the 
frequency in the absence of the PPRAA  net?

Thanks,

Hi Sharon,
    You are correct on all accounts. A lot of areas use  the 146.520 as a 
local simplex frequency so that it is used and so that someone  traveling can 
find someone on the frequency.The only ones that I know of that  use 146.580 is 
the El Paso County RACES when and as needed. Her is a list of  frequencies and 
their uses that I found on the Internet:
