I agree. A calling freq. should be used for that only. Qsy up/down a few
kc's for the qso. A calling Fq. in the novice portion of 80/40/15 and 10
would be great. Establishing one for the remaining bands would be great.
How about the following, for starters:
1,823; 3,723; 7123; 10,123; 14,123; 18,103; 21,123; 24,923 adn 28,123 kc's
or mHz's.
Later.
