Solution to the 144.200 problem.
Sell our radios and take up the hobby of Skydiving, Less hassle and not as
hard on the wrist from turning the tuning dial.
In East Central Florida (EL99) if you are not on 144.200 at least to monitor
you will not make many contacts. Same for 50.125. 222.100 432.100 and
1296.100. I think that most operators have enough sense to move when it gets
busy. In Daytona we do move to 144.23 if we hear weak signals on 200. We
have been asked to move from 144.250 by some real weak signals when we have
our net.
I think we should allow contacts on the FM simplex calling channels as they
also are very quiet and it would maybe get some of the users of multi mode
radios to get some exposure to contesting and maybe to SSB also.
