Simplex Preservation Society

From Amateur Radio Newsline:

The Simplex Preservation Society is a club in the United States that is an alternative to what it calls the traditional repeater-centric amateur radio groups. It's not suggesting anyone gives up repeater use, but its members do monitor simplex, make regular contacts that way and maintain a capability to be able to operate independently of repeaters. SPS members maintain, or improve, their VHF stations to ensure they can effectively communicate within their city limits.

Hmmm? Aren't we doing this on 146.460 MHz? Learn more at http://www.73sps.com/about/simplex-utilization.html
