Get Your Mobile Frequency Sticker On
7 March 2014 | by One of the things I try to do is monitor the National Simplex Calling Frequency for 2 meter FM: 146.52 MHz, especially when mobile. It is fun to see who might show up on 2m simplex: SOTA operators, hikers, mobile stations, campers, etc. See these two posts on operating ideas: A Simple Wilderness Protocol: 146.52 MHz and The Use of 146.52 MHz.
It is also fun to say hello to another ham when you pass them on the highway. While you may see their call letter license plates or notice their mobile antenna, you may not know what frequency they are monitoring. The Noise Blankers Radio Club has solved this problem — just put this sticker on your vehicle.
After poking around cafepress.com, I found some additional options for indicating your radio frequency:
The 2meter SSB calling frequency:
The APRS frequency:
And there’s this magnet for your refrigerator:
If you don’t like any of these, cafepress.com makes it easy to create your own. Go for it!

Those are nice, Bob! I especially like the magnet that you could stick to the back of your car while on a roadtrip. I don’t always monitor 146.52, but I try to while traveling if only to meet new folks and pass the time.
Thanks, Matt!
How do I obtain a couple of stickers ???

I finally clicked on the right link !
I did a bunch of these with local repeater for our Ham Club in Virginia. I also have this on the back window of my RV. Picked up several QSOs because of this.
They even look great on water bottles !
I’m a new ham, just earned my license a month ago like the website and look forward to expanding my knowledge in ham.
To bad there isn’t a way to purchase them
