The "Try .52" sounds good to me. If I am on the road, I don't want to be distracted entering different freq'.s, PL codes, etc. on the radio as we go through different areas. I am certainly within range of .52 simplex if you are reading my sign! I will start travelling with the HT on 52 on the dash to listen for other travellers.

I see many sign shops offering same day service on vinyl stick on signs. Some auto parts stores sell a generic make your own kit. You could color coordinate it to display nicely on your rig. A decent sized sign for "Try 52" would be cheap and not require mounting holes to apply. You could put your call on it also.
