we have APRS active when we travel. the packet being sent includes a note that we are listening to 146.52. have yet to have a call from anyone on 52 but it's only been a couple of years. APRS will tell the OP where other APRS users are and maybe some of them *are* listening to 52.
That's basically what I had in mind. If I can "see" another mobile nearby via APRS I can try and give them a call via 146.52 or a local repeater.
But again, I am new to ham radio, APRS, and all, so will have to see how well it works out.
